Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you’re weighing up paella against a traditional menu, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Wedding paella catering in Sevenscore, made fresh on the day
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. For rustic barn weddings and informal wedding breakfasts, we’ll put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas and more.
A wedding in a small place like Sevenscore often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many staff you need
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Step by step
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. For a summer wedding in Sevenscore, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.

- Together we plan each course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
