How our wedding paella catering works in Fairseat
Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. Typical bookings include relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and receptions after an intimate ceremony, serving Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and table tapas.
Near Fairseat, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Fairseat
We are having a ceremony at Holy Innocents: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Can you cook in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We keep in touch with your venue on the day so the paella is served fresh.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Can we try the food first?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain the options.
