Wedding paella catering in The Brents, cooked live
We can do the whole day or just one part: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. Whether it is sharing-style wedding meals and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook Spanish desserts, canapé tapas and a paella wedding breakfast.
In The Brents, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. A giant pan on the lawn fits right in. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Paella compared with other options
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which can mean long queues at a wedding. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
