Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Bennett End
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. On the menu are evening paella, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for evening food for extra guests and destination-style celebrations at home.
A wedding in a small place like Bennett End often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many guests are eating
- Waiting and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Timings and hours
Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, your venue or HP14 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
