Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.
Space, weather and the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it

Planning a paella wedding in Milton Street
Milton Street is about 4 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. From the centre of Milton Street to the outskirts, wedding paella catering works the same way: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. Milton Street is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we cook. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 13 miles away.
Historic houses near Milton Street include Alfriston Clergy House (1.1 miles south-west) and Charleston Farmhouse (3.3 miles north-west). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and live cooking. Couples marrying at local churches such as St Mary and St Peter's Church often hold the reception nearby: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so it is ready as guests arrive. The South Downs National Park is within about 2 miles of Milton Street, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Check vehicle access and cooking rules with the venue. With the coast within about 5 miles, a seafood paella suits a seaside-style wedding. Coastal wind needs a sheltered cooking spot.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Milton Street
Can you cook near the sea around Milton Street?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you come out to small places like Milton Street?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, sunset in Milton Street is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and suits a relaxed style. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
