Planning for every diet

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Count day and evening guests separately
  • Include any suppliers you’re feeding
  • Ask about your date as soon as you have one
  • Collect dietary needs on the RSVP

Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff.

Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.

How it works

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Curridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan your menu course by course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

How to prepare

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Our caterer checklist

How we price wedding paella catering

Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Your choice of paellas
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Parking and unloading

Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

DIY paella versus live catering

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Planning the cooking area

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
