About our wedding paella catering in Domewood
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so every guest gets a proper hot main. Whether it’s civil partnerships and vow renewals and barn and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Domewood often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

How we price wedding paella catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
- The paellas you choose
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Anything your venue supplies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us separate day and evening numbers
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
Paella can be served at the pans or carried to the tables by staff, whichever suits your day.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Why choose Love Paella in Domewood
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Domewood, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- Guests watch the paella cook during the reception.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, 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.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Common questions in Domewood
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.
How far is Domewood from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What about supplier meals?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you cover Domewood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Domewood and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
