Planning a paella wedding in Colworth
Colworth is about 2 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Weddings in Colworth are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a plan and live cooking on the day. Colworth is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 25 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Goodwood House (4 miles north-west). Historic houses and estates frequently have their own rules on caterers and cooking, so check early if that’s your venue. For guests travelling by train, the nearest station is Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles south-east. The sea is within about 3 miles, perfect for a seafood paella wedding. We will plan shelter from sea breezes.
Wherever your wedding is in PO20, we can cook for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We also cook at weddings in Merston (1 mile west), Oving (2 miles north-west), Lagness (2 miles south-west), Runcton (2 miles west) and Shopwyke (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (13 miles east), Chichester (4 miles north-west), Selsey (7 miles south-west), Littlehampton (8 miles east), Emsworth (10 miles west) and Rustington (9 miles east).

Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For a summer wedding in Colworth, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.

Colworth questions
Could we have live paella in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cook near the sea around Colworth?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
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 provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Live paella or other catering?
Hog roasts are popular but tricky for mixed diets. Separate paella pans cover every diet. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
