Whether it is civil partnerships and vow renewals and receptions after an intimate ceremony, we can cook table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella for your guests.

Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a summer wedding in Tulse Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
