Wedding paella catering near Hampers Green
Wedding paella catering in Hampers Green, cooked live
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. For weddings with lots of dietary needs and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, we’ll put together a menu of canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Hampers Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

What wedding paella catering costs
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The number of people
- The paellas you choose
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything your venue supplies
- The date and rough timings
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What happens on the day
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 a summer wedding in Hampers Green, 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 normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, we check your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Tell us when you want to eat

What’s in the pans
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.
Evening paella
Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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.
Occasions we cook for in Hampers Green
Mixed diets are easy, which matters at weddings with lots of guests.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Weddings with lots of dietary needs

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Hampers Green
Is Hampers Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re having a ceremony at The Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cook inside?
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.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Hampers Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you come to Hampers Green?
We do. We cook at events in Hampers Green and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
