Live wedding paella catering in Skittle Green
Skittle Green questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Which station should guests use for Skittle Green?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it’s served.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cover Skittle Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Skittle Green is within our area and the rest of Buckinghamshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
