About our wedding paella catering in Brenzett
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Popular choices include a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and Spanish desserts, and we are frequently booked for spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and sharing-style wedding meals.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Brenzett, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Can paella feel formal?

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Brenzett, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
