Live wedding paella catering in Reigate
Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Reigate
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapés, a tapas starter, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and dessert. Typical bookings include weddings with lots of dietary needs and informal wedding breakfasts, serving table tapas, evening paella and canapé tapas.
