Wedding paella catering in Inhurst, cooked live
Evening paella is a favourite: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. For relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts and more.
Near Inhurst, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Questions from Inhurst
Which station should guests use for Inhurst?
Midgham station, about 2.8 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Inhurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What if photos overrun?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is ready when you are.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Inhurst.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
If things run late, and we will adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
