Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Pease Pottage
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. For farm and barn venues and blessings and vow renewals, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and canapé tapas and more.
In Pease Pottage, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Where we can cook in Pease Pottage
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Pease Pottage
Can you cook in Tilgate Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
We are having a ceremony at Baron Hall: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Do you cover Pease Pottage?
Yes, we do. Pease Pottage is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Choose pan-side or table service
