Wedding paella catering for Brook events
Wedding paella catering in Brook, made fresh on the day
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. For food for evening guests and sharing-style wedding meals, we can cook Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Brook, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

What affects the price in Brook
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The address or venue name
- The courses you’d like
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Brook, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:05pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Name one person we can ask on the day

FAQs for Brook
Is Brook too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cater the whole day?
Yes. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
What if the timings change?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is ready when you are.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What’s in the pans
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking before the paella arrives.
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food.
For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re marrying at a church near Brook, such as St. Mary's Church, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: we can be cooking during the photos, so it is ready as guests arrive. Nearby historic houses include Mottistone Manor (1.1 miles east) and Westcourt Manor (3.9 miles east). Historic houses and estates frequently have their own rules on caterers and cooking, so check early if that’s your venue.
