FAQs for Broomershill
Is Broomershill too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can we try the food first?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain the options.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
Served well, it feels generous and special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What if photos overrun?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it is served at its best.

Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served right away. We time it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include table tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella, and typical bookings are for sharing-style wedding meals and big weddings with every diet.
Rural weddings around Broomershill have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and suits a relaxed style. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Prices and what affects them

- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- What the venue already provides
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
What we need at the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
