Your questions about wedding paella catering in Farnborough
Can you cook at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
What if photos overrun?
Tell us and we will adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it’s served at its best.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Paella compared with other options
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why book with us
- Fast service from the pan
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
Read Our prices page Or The cost guide.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Count day and evening guests separately
After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What affects the price in Farnborough
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Waiting and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
