Wedding paella catering in Eversley, made fresh on the day
Evening paella is a favourite: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. Typical bookings include weddings with mixed diets and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, with evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Eversley, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Step by step
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. In Eversley, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Eversley: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Eversley?
The closest is Crowthorne station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Do you come to Eversley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Eversley is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:

- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
