Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Everton
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. For vow renewals and civil ceremonies and farm and barn venues, we can cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.
A wedding in a small place like Everton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.

Everton weddings: local tips
Everton is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. We cater weddings at homes, gardens and venues in Everton. We cover 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cook right across the region, from Everton to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
Milford on Sea LNR nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos. Couples marrying at local churches such as St Mary's Church frequently hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it is ready as guests arrive. With the New Forest National Park within about 5 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check vehicle access and cooking rules with the venue. With the coast within about 3 miles, a seafood paella suits a seaside-style wedding. Coastal wind needs a sheltered cooking spot.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO41, so your wedding can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Old Christchurch Road, Westfield Gardens and Laburnum Drive; a wedding at home on any of them works well with live paella. For weddings just outside Everton, we cover Lymore (1 mile south), Milford on Sea (1 mile south), Pennington (1 mile east), Lower Pennington (2 miles east) and Keyhaven (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Totton (13 miles north), Hythe (12 miles north-east), New Milton (3 miles west), Ringwood (11 miles north-west), Warsash (15 miles north-east) and Barton on Sea (3 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Yarmouth Castle (4.8 miles south-east) and St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.3 miles north-east). The countryside around Everton includes Milford on Sea LNR.
- Local schools include Priestlands School (1.7 miles east)

Paella compared with other options
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan when guests are ready. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

FAQs for Everton
Is Everton 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.
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.

The menu, dish by dish
Paella wedding breakfast
A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Everton, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:05pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Name one person we can ask on the day
