How our wedding paella catering works in Burcot
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. On the menu are canapé tapas, table tapas and evening paella, and we’re often booked for parties after a register office wedding and sharing-style wedding meals.
Near Burcot, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

- How long we’re needed on site
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Waiting and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
There’s 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. We itemise everything in your quote.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Expected numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Why choose wedding paella catering in Burcot?

What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, sunset in Burcot is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
