How our wedding paella catering works in Upper Enham
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’s sharing-style wedding meals and big weddings with every diet, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas.
A wedding in a small place like Upper Enham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Golden-hour photos in Upper Enham at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
