Sharing from big pans suits relaxed weddings, especially with long tables and outdoor venues. It feels generous and celebratory. Whether it’s informal wedding breakfasts and parties after a register office wedding, we will put together a menu of Spanish desserts, a paella wedding breakfast and table tapas for your guests.

Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
- Share your running order, including speeches
- Connect us with your coordinator
- Book early for summer Saturdays
If speeches or photos run over, tell us, and we’ll adapt the timing so the paella is served at its best.
Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available if your venue does not.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Somewhere close to park and unload
As a London location, Dancers Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

The process
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. Golden-hour photos in Dancers Hill at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
- Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
- We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.
How to prepare
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Let us know the timings for the day

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
