Couples marrying at local churches such as St Cuthbert's often hold the reception nearby: we can be cooking during the photos, so it’s ready as guests arrive. Planning photos in Gwendwr Garden? It is worth checking the park’s rules first.

What wedding paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and unloading
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
For event organisers in Earl's Court
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.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. Golden-hour photos in Earl's Court at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
How long do you need on site?

What if photos overrun?
