How we price wedding paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading
- Whether you need crockery
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Details that help
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of the space, if you can
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Wedding paella catering in Bryant's Bottom, cooked live
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include table tapas, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for food for evening guests and wedding receptions after a small ceremony.
Rural weddings around Bryant's Bottom have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

What else we do in Bryant's Bottom
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Bryant's Bottom, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, we check your date.

- We confirm everything with your venue.
