What else we do in Wilsley Green
How we price wedding paella catering

- Your choice of paellas
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Distance and access to the venue
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts

The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your wedding, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. In Wilsley Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- Timings are agreed with your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
