How our wedding paella catering works in Benham Hill
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Typical bookings include blessings and vow renewals and weddings in a marquee or garden, with evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
A farm or garden wedding near Benham Hill suits live paella. We will need a level spot and a way to reach it. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

What wedding paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- How many guests are eating
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, sunset in Benham Hill is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Where we can cook in Benham Hill
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Somewhere close to park and unload

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
