Wedding paella catering for Hartley Wintney events
Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Wedding paella catering in Hartley Wintney, cooked live
Evening paella is a favourite: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings with mixed diets and parties after a register office wedding, serving table tapas, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts.
In Hartley Wintney, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

How it works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests typically gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Hartley Wintney is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Hartley Wintney
Which station should guests use for Hartley Wintney?
Winchfield station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
Is Hartley Wintney close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Who clears up?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Why choose live paella in Hartley Wintney?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Separate paella pans cover every diet. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
