Planning a party in Hyde Park Estate

Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Common questions in Hyde Park Estate
What’s the nearest station to Hyde Park Estate for guests?
The closest is London Paddington station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cook in Hyde Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Many gardens work. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

- First, we check the date and the space.
- You choose your paellas and any extras.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What’s in the pans
Churros
All ages love churros.
Chicken & chorizo paella
A smoky favourite with children and adults, ideal for guests who skip seafood.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
Hyde Park Estate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
