How we price wedding paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we’re needed on site
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and rough timings
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The address or venue name
- Which courses you have in mind
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Adstock
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. On the menu are table tapas, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for food for evening guests and weddings with mixed diets.
Near Adstock, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Desserts
A sweet finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
