Wedding paella catering in Nuneham Courtenay
How our wedding paella catering works in Nuneham Courtenay
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. For relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, we will put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Nuneham Courtenay, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan for access and a wet-weather cover. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.
