Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Wargrave
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. Typical bookings include destination-style celebrations at home and parties after a register office wedding, with table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.
For a smaller place like Wargrave, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground and access. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Paella compared with other options
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
