Book wedding paella catering in Lambs Green
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Wedding paella catering in Lambs Green, made fresh on the day
Paella as evening food is popular: hot, filling and served quickly from the pan, so the party keeps going. For weddings with lots of dietary needs and barn and farm weddings, we can cook a paella wedding breakfast, canapé tapas and Spanish desserts and more.
A wedding in a small place like Lambs Green 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. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Planning for every diet
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP cards
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Put us in touch with your venue
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Canapés during the photos keep hunger at bay.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- The venue’s permission for live cooking
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. In Lambs Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
Getting a price
