Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.

How much does wedding paella catering cost in Sedrup?

Is paella smart enough for a wedding?

It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.

What’s in the pans

Desserts

A sweet finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.

Canapé tapas

Small bites carried round on boards while guests mingle, perfect during the photos.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

Step by step

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. In Sedrup, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally 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.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Getting ready for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

How we price wedding paella catering

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Parking and unloading
  • The number of people
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Whether you need crockery

Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
