Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Broom Hill
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Typical bookings include parties after a register office wedding and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, serving Spanish desserts, evening paella and canapé tapas.
Couples in Broom Hill frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
