About our wedding paella catering in Farnham Royal
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. We are often asked to cater sharing-style wedding meals and parties after a register office wedding, serving evening paella, table tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
Rural weddings around Farnham Royal have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. Everything is cooked from scratch at your wedding, not reheated.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
