Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

- Everything cooked fresh at your event

How it works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, sunset in Milland is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.

Milland: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at Tuxlith Chapel?

Liphook station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Milland?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Pick a serving style
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Count day and evening guests separately
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff.
What we need at the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
