Book wedding paella catering in Snagshall
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Wedding paella catering in Snagshall, cooked live
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. On the menu are evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are frequently booked for receptions after an intimate ceremony and weddings in a marquee or garden.
Rural weddings around Snagshall have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

What wedding paella catering costs
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The length of service
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many adults and children
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, sunset in Snagshall is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
