About our wedding paella catering in Monxton
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. We are often asked to cater farm and barn venues and blessings and vow renewals, with Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and table tapas.
Near Monxton, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
