About our wedding paella catering in Brunswick
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. On the menu are table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we’re frequently booked for parties after a register office wedding and garden and marquee weddings.
Weddings in a place like Brunswick frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Weddings in Brunswick: venues, ceremonies and travel
Brunswick is about 1 mile south-west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We cook at weddings in homes, gardens and venues in Brunswick and nearby villages. We cook in all 30 towns and villages across Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages.
If you are marrying at a church near Brunswick, such as St Stephen's Church, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so the meal is ready when you arrive. For guests travelling by train, Brighton station is about 0.6 miles away. With the South Downs National Park within about 7 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue about access and cooking rules. The sea is within about a mile, perfect for a seafood paella wedding. Coastal wind needs a sheltered cooking spot.
Wherever your wedding is in BN1, BN3 and BN50, we can cook for your guests. Local streets include Farm Road, York Road and Powis Road; a wedding at home on any of them works well with live paella. Nearby, we also cater weddings in Seven Dials (1 mile north-east), West Hill (1 mile north-east), Prestonville (1 mile north), Hove (1 mile north-west) and Carlton Hill (1 mile east). Further out, we also cater in Hangleton (3 miles north-west), Patcham (3 miles north), Hollingbury (3 miles north), Bevendean (3 miles north-east), Saltdean (5 miles east) and East Saltdean (6 miles east).

Brunswick questions
How far is Brunswick from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook near the sea around Brunswick?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. For a summer wedding in Brunswick, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
How to prepare
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Tell us where to park and unload

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Waiting and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Live paella or other catering?
