Seasalter: your questions answered
Can you cook in Seasalter Levels?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Seasalter close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we will plan for them.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
Can paella feel formal?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
What if our speeches run late?
Tell us and we will adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

How we price wedding paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many guests are eating
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
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 will suggest a menu.
