About our wedding paella catering in Furnace Green
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Whether it’s parties after a register office wedding and weddings with a Spanish theme, we can cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella and more.
Weddings in a place like Furnace Green frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Tell us about access to the field or garden. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras.

About 28 miles from central London.
Could we have live paella in Tilgate Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.

What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
