Wedding paella catering in Lee Common, made fresh on the day
Your wedding menu is planned with you, course by course, to suit your guests, venue and budget. For marquee and garden weddings and weddings with mixed diets, we can cook table tapas, evening paella and Spanish desserts.
A wedding in a small place like Lee Common frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.

The process
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. Golden-hour photos in Lee Common at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
- We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm 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.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
How to prepare
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Plan cover in case of rain

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers
Evening guests can be served from fresh pans later on, timed for after the first dance.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
Working with your venue

Organising a club, school or community event in Lee Common? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
