About our wedding paella catering in Lewson Street
Timing is everything with paella: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it’s best served straight away. We time it around your speeches and photos. Popular choices include table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and civil ceremonies and barn and farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Lewson Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. Live paella is made for that: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Let us know about access and ground. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. In Lewson Street, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means evening paella is generally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
