How our wedding paella catering works in Ramsnest Common
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. We’re frequently asked to cater spanish-themed and destination-style weddings and vow renewals and civil ceremonies, with evening paella, table tapas and canapé tapas.
Near Ramsnest Common, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Is live paella right for your wedding?
A hog roast is popular at weddings, but harder for vegetarian, vegan and halal guests. Paella covers them with separate pans. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why choose Love Paella in Ramsnest Common
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Served hot, straight from the pan
