Wedding paella catering for Faberstown events
How our wedding paella catering works in Faberstown
Paella as evening food is popular: it is hot, filling and quick to serve, so evening guests are fed and the dancing carries on. For weddings with lots of dietary needs and barn and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of evening paella, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast and more.
Rural weddings around Faberstown have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Step by step
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, sunset in Faberstown is about 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Choosing between paella and a traditional menu?, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Weddings in Faberstown: venues, ceremonies and travel
Faberstown is about 5 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. We bring wedding paella catering to gardens, halls and venues around Faberstown and the surrounding area. We cook in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Faberstown to Southampton (about 24 miles away).
Put the station on your invitation: Andover station is about 4.7 miles away. If you are marrying at a church near Faberstown, such as Church of St Peter in the Wood, a reception in a garden, marquee or hired venue nearby keeps the day flowing: the paella can be cooking while you have photos taken, so the meal is ready when you arrive.
We cater weddings across SP11. Local streets include Andover Road and Shoddesden Lane; a wedding at home on any of them works well with live paella. Neighbouring places where we cater weddings include Redenham (1 mile east), Appleshaw (1 mile east), Fyfield (2 miles south), Chute Forest (2 miles north-east) and Clanville (2 miles east). We also cook in nearby towns such as Andover (5 miles south-east), Tidworth (3 miles west), Whitchurch (11 miles east), East Anton (6 miles east), Overton (14 miles east) and Picket Piece (7 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Andover War Memorial Hospital (4.5 miles south-east) and Ludgershall Castle (1.8 miles north-west). Open spaces near Faberstown include Quarley Hill and Anton Lakes.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
