How we price wedding paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Parking and unloading
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Common questions in Burgh Heath
We’re having a ceremony at St Mary's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Burgh Heath?
The closest is Kingswood station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can we try the food first?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll talk you through it.

Planning help
Is live paella right for your wedding?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
