How our wedding paella catering works in Strand-on-the-Green
Timing is everything with paella: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We time it around your speeches and photos. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and destination-style celebrations at home, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and canapé tapas.
In Strand-on-the-Green, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, ready to serve on arrival. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

What wedding paella catering costs
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- What the venue already provides
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your wedding, and we will suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

How it works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch while it cooks. In Strand-on-the-Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically 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.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
