How our wedding paella catering works in Sudbury Hill
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include vow renewals and civil ceremonies and farm and barn venues, with a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and evening paella.
In Sudbury Hill, 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. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
- Book early for summer Saturdays
If things run late, and we’ll adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh.

How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. For a summer wedding in Sudbury Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

What affects the price in Sudbury Hill
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The paellas you choose
- How many courses
- Parking and unloading
- Guest numbers
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Paella compared with other options
If you are weighing up paella against a traditional menu, think about your venue, your guests’ diets and the feel of the day. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
