Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Table tapas
- Sangria & bar staff

How we price wedding paella catering
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- How many courses
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

What else we do in Wooburn
Common questions in Wooburn
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Wooburn?
The closest is Bourne End station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us about tastings when you get in touch.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it’s served at its best.
Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. In Wooburn, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
