Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Timings and hours
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Golden-hour photos in Shottermill at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Questions from Shottermill
We’re having a ceremony at St. Stephen's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Is Shottermill close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can we try the food first?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Shottermill?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Enquire early for peak dates
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
We typically set up where guests can watch, and it makes a great photo.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
What’s in the pans
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, ideal for the drinks reception.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food vans can create long queues. Paella is served quickly to many guests. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
