Wedding paella catering in Mortlake, made fresh on the day
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings with mixed diets and receptions after an intimate ceremony, with Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas.
For a wedding in Mortlake, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. Paella can be cooking while they’re on the move, ready to serve on arrival. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.
