Your questions about festival paella catering in Ashley Heath
Can you cook in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you trade at school fairs around Ashley Heath?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the details, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
The process
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 usually draws people over. At midsummer, events in Ashley Heath stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Check the venue allows live cooking
Ask for a quote
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
