What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. In Fawler, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Why choose wedding paella catering in Fawler?
Paella can work for the wedding breakfast, the evening, or both, so it’s flexible.
Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:
- Farm and barn venues
- Sharing-style wedding meals
- Weddings with a Spanish theme
- Garden and marquee weddings
Nearby historic houses include Blenheim Palace (4.4 miles east) and Minster Lovell Hall (4.6 miles south-west). Historic houses and estates often have their own rules on caterers and cooking, so check early if that is your venue.

What else we do in Fawler
Fawler: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Fawler?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Fawler close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

DIY paella versus live catering
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’ll do the cooking.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Level ground for the pans and burners
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
