How our wedding paella catering works in Lagness
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 meal arrives hot and generous. We cook evening paella, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas, and typical bookings are for food for evening guests and sharing-style wedding meals.
Near Lagness, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, sunset in Lagness is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

Lagness: your questions answered
Is Lagness close to London?
About 56 miles from central London.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Yes. Add your suppliers to the final numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
