Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Lamport
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests drift over to watch the pans while the photos are being taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. We cook evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and canapé tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and barn and farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Lamport often 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 is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Common questions in Lamport
We are having a ceremony at Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Could we have live paella in Stowe Park and Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.

Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, usually timed after the first dance.
