Wedding paella catering in Felbridge, made fresh on the day
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater receptions after an intimate ceremony and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Felbridge frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. For a summer wedding in Felbridge, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

- Parking and unloading
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Whether you need crockery
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
