Planning an event in Netherfield?
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Evening paella is a favourite: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so the party keeps going. Whether it is receptions after an intimate ceremony and informal wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of evening paella, Spanish desserts and table tapas and more.
Near Netherfield, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How long we are needed on site
- The number of people
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Netherfield, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Pick a serving style
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. In Netherfield, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
