How our wedding paella catering works in Bexhill-on-Sea
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. We cook evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for garden and marquee weddings and blessings and vow renewals.
In a town like Bexhill-on-Sea, a church ceremony and a garden or marquee reception is a classic combination. That is ideal for live paella: it can be cooking during the photos. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Choose pan-side or table service
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.
How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, sunset in Bexhill-on-Sea is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Bexhill-on-Sea questions
Can you cook near the sea around Bexhill-on-Sea?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
What’s the nearest station to Bexhill-on-Sea for guests?
Bexhill station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What’s in the pans
Table tapas
Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal, without spoiling appetites.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
