We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.

Couples in Sewardstonebury frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook.

Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Sewardstonebury, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is usually served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
