About our wedding paella catering in Hyde Park Estate

Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff can be added, so the catering fits the way you want your day to feel. We’re frequently asked to cater informal wedding breakfasts and spanish-themed and destination-style weddings, serving Spanish desserts, table tapas and evening paella.

London weddings around Hyde Park Estate often mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. Plan parking and loading early. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

How it works

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. Golden-hour photos in Hyde Park Estate at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
  2. Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
  5. We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.

Before we arrive

  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

Planning the cooking area

Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
  • Parking close enough to carry equipment
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

As a London location, Hyde Park Estate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Should I cook it myself?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

About the dishes

Paella wedding breakfast

Two or three paellas, served from the pans or brought to the tables, with bread and salad.

Table tapas

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

Working with your venue

Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
