How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Hall's Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

How we price wedding paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The paellas you choose
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and rough timings
- Which courses you have in mind
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the space, if you can
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
