Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Do you cater in Walton on the Hill?
We do. Walton on the Hill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if our speeches run late?
Tell us and we will adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it’s served at its best.

How we price wedding paella catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- Guest numbers
- The paellas you choose
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Live paella or other catering?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why Walton on the Hill hosts choose us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

Dietary needs and planning tips

- Choose pan-side or table service
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
