What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
