Is live paella right for your wedding?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

FAQs for West Heath

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
What does wedding paella catering cost?

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
