Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Decide whether guests queue at the pans or are served at the tables
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Enquire early for peak dates
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For a summer wedding in Cadmore End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.

Questions from Cadmore End
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary Le Moor: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Cadmore End from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How long we’re needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
