Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Introduce us to your venue coordinator
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
We normally set up where guests can watch, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
How our wedding paella catering works in New Milton
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. On the menu are evening paella, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts, and we’re regularly asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and barn and farm weddings.
For a smaller place like New Milton, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We will need a level spot and a way to reach it. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
