How our wedding paella catering works in Foley Park
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, around your guests, your venue and your budget. Whether it is receptions after an intimate ceremony and rustic barn weddings, we’ll put together a menu of table tapas, evening paella and canapé tapas for your guests.
In Foley Park, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Perfect for your wedding in Foley Park
Mixed diets are easy, which matters at weddings with lots of guests.
Whatever you’re celebrating in Foley Park, live paella can be the centrepiece. We frequently cook for:
- Garden and marquee weddings
- Big weddings with every diet
- Relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts
- Spanish-themed and destination-style weddings

Why choose live paella in Foley Park?

The menu, dish by dish
Table tapas
A tapas starter gets tables talking before the paella arrives.
Evening paella
A second round of paella for the evening, served quickly so the party keeps going.
What happens on the day
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you are free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. In Foley Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
