Festival paella catering in Greater London: what to expect

A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and summer fairs and VIP and hospitality areas.

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over.

Fairs, fêtes and festivals across Greater London

Greater London has events everywhere, from London, City of Westminster and Marylebone to village fêtes in 87 small places. A paella stall suits all of them. Parts of Greater London are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles and cooking.

London: Events in parks such as Newington Gardens need permission from the council or landowner, and we will send any documents they ask for. For visitors coming by rail, Elephant & Castle station is in London itself. For an evening event in London, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

The menu, dish by dish

Giant paella pans

It’s the huge pan people come to see.

Chicken & chorizo paella

Smoky and filling, popular with families.

Should I cook it myself?

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Is live paella right for you?

Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going.

Common questions in Greater London

How many paellas should we have?

Can you cook indoors?

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.

Can you do sangria?

Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
