Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
South Mundham: your questions answered
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Parish Church of St Stephen?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Is South Mundham close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated wedding meals need a kitchen and more staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and permission, and feels more relaxed. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. In South Mundham, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
Ask for a quote
