Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal, without spoiling appetites.
Desserts

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Your questions about wedding paella catering in Brize Norton
Is Brize Norton too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Britius?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we will talk you through it.
What if photos overrun?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We keep in touch with your venue on the day and time the rice so it’s served at its best.
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.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
