Festival paella catering for your event in Battersea
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and vegan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater country shows and sports club events.
In Battersea, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Give traders a single information pack
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
Allergen information is available at the stall.
Catering for crew and VIP areas.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
Battersea is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Battersea
Can you cook in Imperial Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Battersea.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
