How much does wedding paella catering cost in Micklefield?

What’s in the pans

Desserts

Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana, or your cake as dessert.

Paella wedding breakfast

Paellas for every guest, served hot and generous.

How it works

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. At midsummer, sunset in Micklefield 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.

  1. We check availability for your date.
  2. You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
  3. We confirm everything with your venue.
  4. Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
  5. We serve and clear our cooking area.

How to prepare

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Should I cook it myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:

  • Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
  • Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
  • Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
  • Ask about your date as soon as you have one

If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue doesn’t.

Live paella or other catering?

Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Why Micklefield hosts choose us

  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • No hidden extras in your quote

Organising for someone else?

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Prices and what affects them

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • Distance and access to the venue
  • How many guests are eating
  • How many staff you need
  • Whether you need crockery

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • The courses you’d like
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
