Wedding paella catering in Charlton, made fresh on the day
We can add sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff, to suit the style of your day. Typical bookings include civil partnerships and vow renewals and relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts, with canapé tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts.
Rural weddings around Charlton have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
The process
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For a summer wedding in Charlton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- First, we check your date.
- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm everything with your venue.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
- We serve and clear our cooking area.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
