Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Folly Town
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Popular choices include evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are frequently booked for wedding receptions after a small ceremony and food for evening guests.
Rural weddings around Folly Town have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

Folly Town questions
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which station should guests use for Folly Town?
The closest is Wye station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
What about supplier meals?
Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers and we’ll plan for them.
