Wedding paella catering in Grange Mills

How we price wedding paella catering

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • The number of people
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert

There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Getting an accurate quote

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Where the event is
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

Still deciding on the menu? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we will make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.

How our wedding paella catering works in Grange Mills

A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We cook evening paella, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast, and typical bookings are for receptions after an intimate ceremony and farm and barn venues.

For a wedding in Grange Mills, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, so it’s ready when they arrive. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Planning the cooking area

We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
  • The venue’s permission for live cooking

Grange Mills is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Questions from Grange Mills

Is parking a problem for events in Grange Mills?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.

Can you cater a reception after a service at MCC South London?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Grange Mills.

Can you cook indoors?

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

Is it really cooked live?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.

Do you provide drinks?

We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

Can you cook halal paella?

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.

Do you cater for suppliers?

Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
