Wedding paella catering for your wedding in Hurlingham
A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. Typical bookings include relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts and receptions after an intimate ceremony, with a paella wedding breakfast, table tapas and Spanish desserts.
Couples in Hurlingham frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. Plan parking and loading early. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

We normally set up where guests can watch, and it makes a great photo.

Before you choose a spot
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
As a London location, Hurlingham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
