Wedding paella catering for Lullington events
How our wedding paella catering works in Lullington
Paella suits relaxed, sociable weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous and celebratory. We are frequently asked to cater receptions after an intimate ceremony and barn and farm weddings, with evening paella, a paella wedding breakfast and Spanish desserts.
Near Lullington, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s exactly where live paella shines: no kitchen, just a level, sheltered spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Dishes our guests love
Canapé tapas
One- and two-bite tapas on boards, ideal for the drinks reception.
Paella wedding breakfast
Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you’re free to enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. In Lullington, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

Lullington questions
How far is Lullington from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can paella feel formal?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on presentation and service.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you work with our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Planning the cooking area

- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
