What wedding paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Questions from Tooting Bec
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Augustine?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Tooting Bec?
Tooting station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Do you work with our venue?
Of course. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What about supplier meals?
Of course. Add your suppliers to the final numbers and we’ll plan for them.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
Tooting Bec is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What to look for in a quote
- Who provides the crockery
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether VAT is included
- The venue requirements
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
