Your questions about wedding paella catering in Noke Common
Could we have live paella in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St. John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What if our speeches run late?
Tell us and we’ll adjust. We stay in touch with your coordinator and time the rice so it is served at its best.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
