Wedding paella catering for Cocking Causeway events
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Cocking Causeway, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Give us a contact for the day

Questions from Cocking Causeway
Is Cocking Causeway too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you cover Cocking Causeway?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Cocking Causeway is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
Live paella or other catering?
A buffet can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate when guests are ready. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For event organisers in Cocking Causeway
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
