About our wedding paella catering in Sherington
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. For blessings and vow renewals and receptions after an intimate ceremony, we can cook canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and table tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Sherington frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
