Planning an event in Roser's Cross?
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Wedding paella catering in Roser's Cross, made fresh on the day
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. We are frequently asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and weddings in a marquee or garden, with evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Roser's Cross often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Why choose wedding paella catering in Roser's Cross?
It is a natural fit for barns, marquees and gardens, where a plated meal can be hard to pull off.
Whatever the occasion, paella can be the star of the food. We regularly cater:
- Food for evening guests
- Weddings with lots of dietary needs
- Vow renewals and civil ceremonies
- Receptions after an intimate ceremony
Planning photos in Passingworth Park? It is worth checking the park’s rules first.
What your quote should include
- Whether travel is included
- The deposit and payment dates
- Staff numbers and hours
- The venue requirements
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
- How many courses
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d cook
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Roser's Cross, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
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.
Questions from Roser's Cross
How far is Roser's Cross from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you cater for young children?

How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
The process
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 while it cooks. At midsummer, sunset in Roser's Cross is about 9:15pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
