About our wedding paella catering in Ingrams Green
Paella has a natural rhythm: the rice needs about 20 minutes and is best served immediately. We plan it around your speeches and photos. On the menu are evening paella, canapé tapas and table tapas, and typical bookings are for destination-style celebrations at home and civil partnerships and vow renewals.
Near Ingrams Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. 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 you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Live paella or other catering?
Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
