Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. In Bowlhead Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

How we price wedding paella catering
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Timings and hours
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The number of people

Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- The date and rough timings
- Which courses you have in mind
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can fill in our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
- Somewhere close to park and unload
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
