The Hurlingham Club Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic
Social Pantry was thrilled to cater a two-day event at the esteemed Hurlingham Club, alongside chef Ben Tish and the Cubitt House team.
Set within 42 acres of landscaped grounds along the River Thames in Fulham, The Hurlingham Club is a renowned private members club home to croquet and tennis lawns, botanical gardens and a stately Georgian Clubhouse. To celebrate and officially launch the club’s brand new padel courts this spring, the Hurlingham team organised a two-day pro-am padel tournament. The Alfred Dunhill Padel Classic saw celebrities, padel professionals and a group of select teams competing in the grounds to raise funds and awareness for Laureus Sport for Good.
Throughout the two days, the Social Pantry team worked closely with Ben Tish and the Cubitt House team to cater breakfast, lunch, drinks and dinner for 500 guests. Ben decided on a Spanish-influenced menu, which the Social Pantry team helped to develop, cook and scale up to cater for up to 240 guests each day. This included hand-carved jamón from Brindisa, traditional seafood paella, tapas-style small plates and flame-grilled meats. Find out more about the menu below.
