Events here are often close to Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park.

For a walk before or after the party, there’s Tilgate Lake.

Getting married in West Sussex

Weddings across West Sussex range from town venues in Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to barns, marquees and gardens in 293 villages and hamlets. Live paella is especially at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings. The South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across West Sussex, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles and cooking. 121 of the places we cover in West Sussex are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered cooking spot for the wind, and seafood paella is popular.

Crawley: For outdoor photos, Tilgate Lake is close by. If you are marrying at a church near Crawley, such as Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: we can be cooking during the photos, so the meal is ready when you arrive. For a summer wedding in Crawley, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

The venue or postcode
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
The date and rough timings
A picture of the space, if you can

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

What we need at the venue

Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

The venue’s permission for live cooking
Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
Parking close enough to carry equipment

Catering for every guest

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

Tell us how many evening guests to expect
Ask about your date as soon as you have one
Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
Tell us when speeches will be

We clear our cooking area away afterwards; any staff stay as long as agreed.

Table tapas make a sociable starter.

Is live paella right for you?

Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly.

West Sussex: your questions answered

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

What do you need at the venue?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.

Can you feed our photographer and band?

Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.

What about pudding?

Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.

Should we have more than one paella?

Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
