Wedding paella catering in Twitton, made fresh on the day
We plan the wedding menu with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. Whether it’s rustic barn weddings and sharing-style wedding meals, we will put together a menu of canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas for your guests.
Rural weddings around Twitton have a magic of their own, and an open-air paella adds to it. Plan access and cover in case of rain. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Ask about diets and allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about suppliers who need feeding
- Send us the running order and speech times
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we will adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away.
