Common questions in White City
What’s the nearest station to White City for guests?
The closest is Shepherds Bush station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cook in Hammersmith Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you do canapés and evening food too?
Yes. Canapé tapas, table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts, or any part of that.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
About our wedding paella catering in White City
We can cater your whole wedding day or one part of it: canapé tapas with the drinks, table tapas, paella for the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts. We’re frequently asked to cater sharing-style wedding meals and evening food for extra guests, serving table tapas, a paella wedding breakfast and evening paella.
London weddings around White City frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Live paella works well at both, as long as there’s a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
