Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How long we’re needed on site

- Guest numbers
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

FAQs for Old Warren
Can you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St.Saviours?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
What if our speeches run late?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it’s served at its best.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
The menu, dish by dish
Paella wedding breakfast
The main event: paellas for every diet, served straight from the pan.
Desserts
Spanish desserts from churros to crema catalana, or your cake as dessert.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Paella compared with other options
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
