Wedding paella catering near Rushmoor
How our wedding paella catering works in Rushmoor
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. Typical bookings include food for evening guests and weddings with mixed diets, serving table tapas, canapé tapas and evening paella.
Near Rushmoor, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Getting married in Rushmoor?
Rushmoor is about 4 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. Whether your wedding is in the middle of Rushmoor or on the outskirts, wedding paella catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Rushmoor to Guildford (about 10 miles away).
Farnham Heath nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos. If you’re hoping for photos in The Flashes, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 4 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check vehicle access and cooking rules with the venue.

Paella compared with other options
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, perfect during the photos.
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. For a summer wedding in Rushmoor, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Common questions in Rushmoor
What’s the nearest station to Rushmoor for guests?
Farnham station, about 4.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cater in Rushmoor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Rushmoor and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.
Table tapas make a sociable starter.
What affects the price in Rushmoor
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need crockery
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- How many courses
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu to match. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
