Your questions about wedding paella catering in Little Horwood
How far is Little Horwood from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you come to Little Horwood?
We do. Little Horwood is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- A quote that spells everything out
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
How we price wedding paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Waiting and bar staff
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Whether you need crockery
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. In Little Horwood, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
Ask for a quote
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Where we can cook in Little Horwood
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
