Wedding paella catering for Langstone events
Wedding paella catering in Langstone, made fresh on the day
Saffron and garlic in the air gets guests excited about the meal long before it’s served. For civil partnerships and vow renewals and rustic barn weddings, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Langstone frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago, or your cake as dessert.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
FAQs for Langstone
Can you cater a reception after a service at Saint Nicholas' Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook near the sea around Langstone?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Can paella feel formal?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Langstone.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot from the pan. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. At midsummer, sunset in Langstone is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
