Wedding paella catering in Lillingstone Lovell, made fresh on the day

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a summer wedding in Lillingstone Lovell, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve each course.
- We clear our area; staff stay as booked.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
