What wedding paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Travel, parking and access
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The courses you’d like

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Why choose wedding paella catering in Winterbourne?
Couples choose paella because it feels relaxed and generous, and guests talk about it afterwards.

Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers

- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
We can provide crockery and waiting staff.
The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. In Winterbourne, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
