About our wedding paella catering in Felcourt
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. For relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we can cook canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts for your guests.
Rural weddings around Felcourt have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Felcourt
Is Felcourt too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Felcourt for guests?
The closest is Dormans station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you offer tastings?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain the options.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on presentation and service.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- An open-sided catering gazebo next to the marquee
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
If you are weighing up paella against a traditional menu, consider your venue, diets and the style you want. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Live cooking, not reheated food

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. In Felcourt, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- We check availability for your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
