Wedding paella catering near Storrington

How our wedding paella catering works in Storrington

A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. We are frequently asked to cater civil partnerships and vow renewals and marquee and garden weddings, serving table tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.

Weddings in a place like Storrington often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. A huge pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Is live paella right for your wedding?

If you’re weighing up paella against a traditional menu, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Why us?

  • A clear, itemised quote
  • Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
  • Events in Storrington and across West Sussex
  • Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

See Our prices page Or The cost guide.

Space, weather and the venue

We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:

  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

What wedding paella catering costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • How long we’re needed on site
  • The paellas you choose
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Waiting and bar staff

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

What we need to know

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Expected numbers
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • The date and time of the event

To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Storrington, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.

How the day works

Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For a summer wedding in Storrington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
  2. Together we plan each course.
  3. We agree timings with you and your venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve each course.
  5. We clear our area; staff stay as booked.

Getting ready for the day

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area

FAQs for Storrington

Is Storrington close to London?

Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.

Can you cater the whole day?

Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.

Do you cook inside?

Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

What do you need at the venue?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

Can you serve drinks?

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
