Wedding paella catering in City of London, made fresh on the day
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. We cook a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding receptions after a small ceremony and rustic barn weddings.
In City of London, getting guests from ceremony to reception is part of the plan. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it is ready when they arrive. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
