About our wedding paella catering in Angmering
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and Spanish desserts, and we are frequently booked for spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and food for evening guests.
Weddings in a place like Angmering frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

About the dishes
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.
Paella wedding breakfast
A choice of paellas, served at the pans or to the tables.
Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- What the venue already provides
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your wedding, and we’ll make suggestions. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. At midsummer, sunset in Angmering is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Angmering questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of St Margaret: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
