Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
FAQs for Burwash Weald
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We’re having a ceremony at St Philip's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
For event organisers in Burwash Weald
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
A table tapas starter gets everyone sharing.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss.

For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
