What wedding paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
- Waiting and bar staff
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

- A picture of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Which courses you have in mind

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. In Tutt Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
