Wedding paella catering in Brook Street, cooked live
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Whether it’s big weddings with every diet and garden and marquee weddings, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
There is something special about a country wedding near Brook Street, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

What wedding paella catering costs
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Parking and unloading
- The number of people
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The courses you’d like
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll make suggestions. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
