Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Burwash
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and evening paella, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and civil partnerships and vow renewals.
There is something special about a country wedding near Burwash, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Burwash is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Give us a contact for the day

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 feels more relaxed. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers and we will plan for them.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.

We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from canapés to evening food.
Is the paella gluten-free?
