About our wedding paella catering in Whitehill
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. Typical bookings include informal wedding breakfasts and garden and marquee weddings, serving evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
In Whitehill, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
Common questions in Whitehill
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mark's Sacred Church?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Whitehill?
The closest is Liphook station, roughly 3.7 miles away.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it is served.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Guest numbers
- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Why choose live paella in Whitehill?

Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. In Whitehill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us your final numbers and diets
