Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For a summer wedding in Lucas Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is 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.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
Getting ready for the day

Lucas Green: your questions answered
Can you cook in Bisley and West End Commons?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How far is Lucas Green from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
What if the timings change?
We plan for it. The rice goes in at the last sensible moment, so it’s ready when you are.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
