Book wedding paella catering in Hanger Hill

The process

We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. For a summer wedding in Hanger Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening paella is typically served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We plan your menu course by course.
  3. Timings are agreed with your venue.
  4. On the day, we cook and serve each course.
  5. We pack down, and staff stay as agreed.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

What’s in the pans

Evening paella

Evening paella is hot, filling and fun.

Table tapas

Bowls and boards set down in the middle of each table, such as patatas bravas, croquetas and Manchego.

Before you choose a spot

The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:

  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo

Hanger Hill 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Hanger Hill questions

Can you cook in Ealing Common?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

We are having a ceremony at Church of the Ascension: can you cater afterwards?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.

Can you cater the whole day?

We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.

Should we have more than one paella?

Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.

Do you cover Hanger Hill?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hanger Hill. For a quote, use our quote form.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.

Do you cook inside?

Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.

Diets, allergies and planning

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:

  • Introduce us to your venue coordinator
  • Tell us when speeches will be
  • Tell us how many evening guests to expect
  • Enquire early for peak dates

If things run late, and we will adjust the cooking so the paella is served at its best.

Crockery, cutlery and waiting staff are available.
