About our wedding paella catering in Hampden Park
A paella wedding makes mixed diets simple: every paella is cooked separately, so every guest gets a proper hot main. On the menu are a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and evening paella, and we are regularly asked to cater destination-style celebrations at home and farm and barn venues.
For a smaller place like Hampden Park, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We’ll need a level spot and a way to reach it. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Hampden Park questions
How far is Hampden Park from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook in Princes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you offer tastings?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
It can be dressed up or kept relaxed, depending on how it’s served.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
