Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Whether it is evening wedding food and weddings with lots of dietary needs, we will put together a menu of evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas for your guests.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Guest numbers
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Cooper's Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
