About our wedding paella catering in Park Farm
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and evening paella, and we’re frequently booked for garden and marquee weddings and farm and barn venues.
A farm or garden wedding near Park Farm suits live paella. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
What wedding paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we are needed on site
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Distance and access to the venue
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

At midsummer, sunset in Park Farm is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
