Wedding paella catering in Walton

About our wedding paella catering in Walton

Paella as evening food is popular: it’s hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. Popular choices include evening paella, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and we are frequently booked for weddings with a Spanish theme and weddings in a marquee or garden.

Weddings in a place like Walton frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated.

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

DIY paella versus live catering

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

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.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:

  • Ask about your date as soon as you have one
  • Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
  • Tell us how many evening guests to expect
  • Introduce us to your venue coordinator

After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.

Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.

Walton questions

We are having a ceremony at Church of St Thomas: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Which station should guests use for Walton?

The closest is Bow Brickhill station, roughly 0.9 miles away.

Can you cater for children?

Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

What if the timings change?

Tell us and we’ll adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Walton.

Do you cook inside?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

How the day works

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, sunset in Walton is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan your menu course by course.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue.
  4. On the day, we cook and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
