Vamos Paella

We cater for all kinds of events: wedding breakfasts, evening wedding receptions, post-wedding parties, garden parties, corporate events, special birthday parties or anniversaries, engagement parties, christenings, product launches, charity galas and fund-raisers.

We tend to cater for larger events and can cater for up to 500 people in one sitting and more on a rolling basis. The minimum we cater for is 30-50 people as we have a minimum spend of £900 plus VAT on catering costs.

We will bring a gazebo (or two if it's a large wedding) to cook under (3m x 3m) and a couple of tables to serve from. We also provide biodegradable food boxes, wooden forks and napkins free of charge - great for evening wedding food or weddings with a festival-style feel.

We need a minimum of 4 square metres to set up our gazebo. This needs to be level ground otherwise the paella doesn't cook evenly. Areas that are sheltered from the wind are best. We cook our paellas on portable gas burners, which run off bottled propane gas, so we're completely self-sufficient and don't need electricity. If we're cooking in the dark, we'll bring our own battery-powered lighting. Access to running water is useful, but not a must. If there isn't any, just let us know and we'll bring our own.

We offer tastings for weddings where you can try some of our signature tapas and paellas, washed down with a glass of chilled white Rioja. We host these at our home in Brighton on Sundays and weekday evenings. You can bring up to four people with you and it's a great chance to try the food you're thinking of having and to talk through your wedding plans. We charge £75 for this service. However, if you decide to book us, we refund this on your final invoice.
