Wedding paella catering in Ossemsley, made fresh on the day
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and evening paella, and we are often booked for evening food for extra guests and barn and farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Ossemsley often 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. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. Golden-hour photos in Ossemsley at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

How we price wedding paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Parking and unloading
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Timings and hours
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Ossemsley questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come to Ossemsley?
Yes, we do. Ossemsley is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.

About the dishes
Desserts
Churros with chocolate, crema catalana or tarta de Santiago.
Evening paella
Fresh pans for evening guests, served quickly so the party keeps going.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
The pans are often set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
- Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
