We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.

How much paella per person?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.

Yes. Sangria can be added, and bar staff if you’re providing the drinks.

Before you choose a spot

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • A spot for our serving station
  • Venue approval for outside catering
  • Parking near the venue

Hyde farm estate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What’s in the pans

Manchego & membrillo

Easy and classic.

Patatas bravas

Crisp potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce, often with alioli.

Should I cook it myself?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
