For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Live paella or other catering?

What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
- The length of service
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and rough timings
- Anything your venue supplies
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Cobham
Is Cobham too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Cobham?
The closest is Sole Street station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
