The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. For a summer wedding in Bromley Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
How we price wedding paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- The number of people
- How many courses
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’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:

Menu ideas

Live paella or other catering?
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. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
