Wedding paella catering in Lindfield
How our wedding paella catering works in Lindfield
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. We are frequently asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and food for evening guests, with a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and evening paella.
For a smaller place like Lindfield, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Questions from Lindfield
Can you cater a reception after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Lindfield from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cater the whole day?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

How we price wedding paella catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
- How long we’re needed on site
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The venue or postcode
- The date and rough timings
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Lindfield is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Book early for summer Saturdays
On the day, we liaise with your coordinator or toastmaster, so you can enjoy yourselves.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Live paella or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
