How our wedding paella catering works in Gun Hill
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and informal wedding breakfasts, with table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.
A wedding in a small place like Gun Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
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.
