How our wedding paella catering works in Green Street Green
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, long tables and garden or barn venues. It feels generous without being stuffy. We cook evening paella, canapé tapas and table tapas, and typical bookings are for destination-style celebrations at home and food for evening guests.
A wedding in a small place like Green Street Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras.
