Wedding paella catering in Burghclere Common, cooked live
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Typical bookings include weddings with lots of dietary needs and weddings with a Spanish theme, serving canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and a paella wedding breakfast.
Near Burghclere Common, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
