Wedding paella catering in Liphook, cooked live
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Typical bookings include informal wedding breakfasts and evening wedding food, with table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.
Weddings in a place like Liphook frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Liphook, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Let us know the timings for the day

Questions from Liphook
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary's Church Centre: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cater in Liphook?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Liphook is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
What if the timings change?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
