Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Arundel
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. Whether it is sharing-style wedding meals and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, evening paella and canapé tapas and more.
For a smaller place like Arundel, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Golden-hour photos in Arundel at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. 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’ll suggest a menu.

Arundel is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we cook. Our events stretch from Arundel to Brighton (about 19 miles away).
If you’re marrying at a church near Arundel, such as Trinity Congregational Church, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: we can be cooking during the photos, so it’s ready as guests arrive.

Questions from Arundel
Which station should guests use for Arundel?
Arundel station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you cover Arundel?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Arundel and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Arundel?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
