Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Middle Wallop
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. On the menu are Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and table tapas, and we’re often booked for garden and marquee weddings and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts.
Near Middle Wallop, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

How we price wedding paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Live paella or other catering?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.

The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. In Middle Wallop, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
