How our festival paella catering works in Acton Green

Organisers can book us as a stall or as caterers for staff, crew, volunteers or VIP areas. Whether it’s sports club events and seasonal markets, we will put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and seafood paella for your guests.

Events in Acton Green range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we will send whatever the organiser needs. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

What happens on the day

Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. For an evening event in Acton Green, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
  2. We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
  3. Paperwork goes over in good time.
  4. We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
  5. At close, we pack down and tidy up.

How to compare caterers

Acton Green: your questions answered

What’s the nearest station to Acton Green for guests?

Acton Green has its own station: South Acton station.

Is parking a problem for events in Acton Green?

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.

Is halal food available?

Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

How much paella per person?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.

Can vegans eat at your stall?

Yes, always. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.

Planning for every diet

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
  • Plan seating near the food area
  • Ask traders about packaging and waste
  • Put all trader information in one pack

We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.

Catering for crew and VIP areas.

Space, weather and the venue

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

  • Details of power, water and waste arrangements
  • Pitch space for cooking and serving
  • Flat, firm ground

Acton Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What affects the price in Acton Green

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • How many courses
  • Parking and unloading
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

What we need to know

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • The courses you’d like
  • The date and rough timings
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

What’s in the pans

Giant paella pans

The giant pan is the star.

Seafood paella

Prawns, mussels and squid.

Planners, venues and businesses

For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Paella compared with other options

For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
