Catering for every guest
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Send us the running order and speech times
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Addlestone
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. On the menu are canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and we are regularly asked to cater relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and weddings with mixed diets.
In Addlestone, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in Addlestone
Can you cook in Woburn Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
How far is Addlestone from London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Will you talk to our venue?
Of course. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Can paella feel formal?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
What about supplier meals?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Why choose live paella in Addlestone?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What you get with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
