FAQs for Burlington Estate
Which station should guests use for Burlington Estate?
Bond Street station, in Burlington Estate itself.
Can you cater a reception after a service at New Gallery?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Can we have a tasting?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we’ll talk you through it.
About our wedding paella catering in Burlington Estate
Mixed diets are easy at a paella wedding: each paella has its own pan, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests eat the same kind of meal as everyone else. We are frequently asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and rustic barn weddings, serving evening paella, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
London weddings around Burlington Estate frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. At midsummer, sunset in Burlington Estate is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
