How our wedding paella catering works in Worth
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. On the menu are canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings with lots of dietary needs and garden and marquee weddings.
In Worth, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For a summer wedding in Worth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

What affects the price in Worth
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Your date and when you want to eat

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Paella covers them with separate pans. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why us?
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you work with our venue?
