Paella catering for your event in Furner's Green
A single cooking set-up can feed a crowd, there’s very little waste, and the food is served hot. That’s why it works for so many events. We’re often asked to cater engagement and anniversary parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving mixed paella, vegetable paella and seafood paella.
Somewhere like Furner's Green, a field or garden is often the perfect setting. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
How we price paella catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
- Timings and hours
- Your choice of paellas
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. In Furner's Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- It is served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Give us your final numbers and diets
