Wedding paella catering for Mop End events
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Wedding paella catering in Mop End, made fresh on the day
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Popular choices include Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and evening food for extra guests.
A wedding in a small place like Mop End frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
