About our wedding paella catering in Furzeley Corner
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous and celebratory. On the menu are evening paella, table tapas and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for blessings and vow renewals and garden and marquee weddings.
Rural weddings around Furzeley Corner have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella is served hot from the pan. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. In Furzeley Corner, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- Send us your wedding date, venue and numbers.
