Your questions about wedding paella catering in Harringay
Which station should guests use for Harringay?
Harringay has its own station: Harringay Green Lanes station.
We are having a ceremony at St Paul's Harringay: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What if our speeches run late?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it is ready when you are.
