Your questions about wedding paella catering in Greenham
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could we have live paella in Sandleford Priory?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Do you come to Greenham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Greenham is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
How much does wedding paella catering cost in Greenham?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Should we have more than one paella?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
