Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

About our wedding paella catering in Fisher

We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Typical bookings include evening food for extra guests and wedding receptions after a small ceremony, serving canapé tapas, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.

A wedding in a small place like Fisher frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

FAQs for Fisher

What about events near the coast?

Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.

How far is Fisher from London?

About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.

Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?

Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.

Do you do starters?

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.

Do you cook inside?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

How we price wedding paella catering

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • How long we are needed on site
  • The paellas you choose
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Where the event is

To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

How it works

Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Fisher, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
  2. We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
  5. Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Leave space around the cooking area
