What affects the price in Brill
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many guests are eating
- The paellas you choose
- Timings and hours
- Parking and unloading
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Details that help

- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and rough timings
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, use our quote form.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Brill, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Why choose live paella in Brill?
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Fast service from the pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- A quote that spells everything out

If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:

Questions from Brill
Is Brill close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
