Wedding paella catering in West End
How our wedding paella catering works in West End
At a wedding, paella is both the meal and a bit of a show. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the food arrives hot and plentiful. Whether it is food for evening guests and garden and marquee weddings, we can cook canapé tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas and more.
A wedding in a small place like West End frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Your questions about wedding paella catering in West End
Which station should guests use for West End?
Hersham station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at St George's: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Just add them to your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we will agree the details.
Why choose live paella in West End?
Compared with formal catering, live paella is relaxed and sociable, but with canapés, table tapas and good crockery, it still feels special. 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.
