How our wedding paella catering works in West Horsley
Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, to suit the style of your day. For blessings and vow renewals and receptions after an intimate ceremony, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, evening paella and a paella wedding breakfast for your guests.
In West Horsley, 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.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, sunset in West Horsley is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
