For a wedding in Moor Park, think about how guests travel between ceremony and reception. The paella can be cooking while everyone makes their way over, so it’s ready when they arrive. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Moor Park: your questions answered

Can you cater a reception after a service at Holy Trinity Church?

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is usually elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Is parking a problem for events in Moor Park?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.

Can you feed our photographer and band?

Yes. Include suppliers in your numbers.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.

How much paella per person?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.

Here are some of the events we cook for around Moor Park:

  • Relaxed sharing-style wedding breakfasts
  • Receptions after an intimate ceremony
  • Big weddings with every diet
  • Destination-style celebrations at home

If you’re hoping for photos in King George V Playing Fields, check whether the park needs permission for photography or gatherings.

  • How each diet is kept separate
  • When payment is due

Choosing a paella caterer

Prices and what affects them

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Guest numbers
  • How many staff you need
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • How many courses

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

What to tell us

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Approximate guest numbers, including children
  • The date and rough timings
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • A picture of the space, if you can

The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Moor Park, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

Diets, allergies and planning

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Give us separate day and evening numbers
  • Enquire early for peak dates
  • Choose pan-side or table service
  • Ask whether your venue allows outside caterers

The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, and it makes a great photo.

Table tapas make a sociable starter.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

What happens on the day

Here’s how the day generally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Golden-hour photos in Moor Park at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  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. We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
  5. We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.

Getting ready for the day

  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning the cooking area

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

  • A separate open-sided gazebo if the meal is in a marquee
  • Level ground for the pans and burners
  • Confirmation that open cooking is allowed

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

Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
