About our wedding paella catering in Enham Alamein
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. For weddings with lots of dietary needs and marquee and garden weddings, we can cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts for your guests.
Near Enham Alamein, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Common questions in Enham Alamein
Which station should guests use for Enham Alamein?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Is Enham Alamein too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater the whole day?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from the drinks reception to the evening.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

At midsummer, sunset in Enham Alamein is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
