How our wedding paella catering works in Titchfield
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include weddings with lots of dietary needs and marquee and garden weddings, serving a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas.
There is something special about a country wedding near Titchfield, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Titchfield questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
How far is Titchfield from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can paella feel formal?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we offer
- Table tapas
- Canapé tapas
- Paella wedding breakfast

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.

- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- A quote that spells everything out
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
- Pick a serving style
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Enquire early for peak dates
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you don’t have to.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
A closer look at the menu
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served straight from the pan.
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking before the paella arrives.
What happens on the day
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. In Titchfield, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is 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’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
