Wedding paella catering in Holton, made fresh on the day
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. We cook Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater blessings and vow renewals and receptions after an intimate ceremony.
Rural weddings around Holton have a magic of their own, and paella cooking in the open air adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Questions from Holton
How far is Holton from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Granary Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Yes. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
What if our speeches run late?
We adapt. We stay in touch with your coordinator so the paella is served fresh.

A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
