Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, sunset in South Weston is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.

What affects the price in South Weston
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and rough timings
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Paella compared with other options
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
