About our wedding paella catering in Holloway Down
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. Whether it is spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and weddings with mixed diets, we will put together a menu of evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas for your guests.
London weddings around Holloway Down frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
