Venue guide · Lost Sierra & Plumas · Chester
Catering at Lassen Meadows Ranch.
160-acre ranch with log barn and lakefront lawns; weekend-buyout format. Outdoor. Capacity 200.
Catering policy: Outside caterers are welcome here, per the venue's own posted information (HCTG catering line: "BYO"; Kitchen Pavilion (commercial fridge/ice/stove/sinks) built for outside caterers). That means you choose the food, and the venue provides the setting.
Ranch-and-barn settings are the crew's happy place: carved tri-tip, barrel-bar setups, and buffets that look right against timber and open sky. Boots-on-gravel logistics are assumed, not discovered.
A 160-acre ranch with a log barn, lakefront lawns, and a weekend-buyout format gives a wedding the whole property. The kitchen pavilion built for visiting caterers says everything about how welcome the crew is here.
What Paisan's brings to a room like this: full-service buffets with chafers and staff, carved tri-tip where the setting allows a station, appetizer spreads by the piece, and thirty years of events across this exact region. The nine-tap Mobile Pub and the food truck book alongside when the venue's rules allow.
Planning tip: get the venue's rules on alcohol in writing before dreaming about the bar. Where outside bar service is allowed, the nine-tap Mobile Pub handles the rest.
