VALENCIA TO WALES: AUTHENTIC SPANISH CATERING & TRADITIONS
1. OUR BRAND STORY: FROM VALENCIA WITH LOVE
Originating from the coastal region of Valencia, Spain—the undisputed birthplace of Paella—our business is built on centuries of culinary heritage. Our foundation is rooted in the unique ecosystem of La Albufera, where a natural canal connects a freshwater lake to the Mediterranean Sea, creating the perfect environment for growing the world’s finest short-grain rice.
We don't just serve food; we export a culture. In Valencia, Paella is the centerpiece of family unity, traditionally prepared and shared from a single pan. Since moving to Wales in 2013 and launching our business in 2014, we have brought that same spirit of connection and "love for the craft" to the UK festival scene.
2. MULTI-AWARD WINNING EXCELLENCE
Our commitment to quality and authenticity has been recognized at the highest level. We are proud to be a consecutive winner of one of the industry's most prestigious honors:
WINNER: Spanish Food Specialist of the Year – Wales Prestige Awards 25/26
WINNER: Spanish Food Specialist of the Year – Wales Prestige Awards 26/27
This back-to-back recognition highlights our consistency, professional growth, and dedication to gastronomic excellence.
3. THE MENU: AUTHENTIC, INCLUSIVE, & SUSTAINABLE
