Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Your choice of paellas
- How long we are needed on site
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
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.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Level ground for the pans and burners
As a London location, Duckett's Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. For a summer wedding in Duckett's Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Let us know the timings for the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
