Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Overton
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Whether it is vow renewals and civil ceremonies and parties after a register office wedding, we can cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella for your guests.
For a smaller place like Overton, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Overton questions
What’s the nearest station to Overton for guests?
The closest is Overton station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is Overton close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you come to Overton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Overton. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and when you want to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.

We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
