Paella compared with other options
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. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Berrick Salome questions
Is Berrick Salome too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Helen: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Do you cover Berrick Salome?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Berrick Salome is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, use our quote form.

How we price wedding paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
