Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Which courses you have in mind
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Meadle is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
