Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Kiddington questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Kiddington?
The closest is Charlbury station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
How we price wedding paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. In Kiddington, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
