How our wedding paella catering works in Newington
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Popular choices include canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we are often booked for weddings with mixed diets and receptions after an intimate ceremony.
A farm or garden wedding near Newington suits live paella. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

How we price wedding paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
- The venue or postcode
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
