Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Stoke Mandeville
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. Popular choices include canapé tapas, Spanish desserts and evening paella, and typical bookings are for weddings with a Spanish theme and weddings with lots of dietary needs.
Weddings in a place like Stoke Mandeville frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. Paella cooked on the lawn suits that perfectly. Let us know about access for the van. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Is live paella right for your wedding?
Buffets can mean food sitting for a while. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What you get with us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
