Wedding paella catering in Loxhill
About our wedding paella catering in Loxhill
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and we’re often booked for relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and weddings with a Spanish theme.
A wedding in a small place like Loxhill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and rough timings
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
Send us the date, your venue or GU8 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Loxhill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
