Wedding paella catering for Snow Hill events
About our wedding paella catering in Snow Hill
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Whether it’s weddings with lots of dietary needs and weddings with a Spanish theme, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Snow Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Snow Hill questions
What’s the nearest station to Snow Hill for guests?
East Grinstead station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
After service, we pack down our cooking area; any staff stay as long as agreed.
Sangria and bar staff can be added.
Where we can cook in Snow Hill
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. In Snow Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We check availability for your date.
- You pick the courses and dishes.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare

Live paella or other catering?
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
