Festival paella catering in Belgravia, made fresh on the day

Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. Whether it’s village fêtes and VIP and hospitality areas, we’ll put together a menu of vegan paella, seafood paella and giant-pan paella.

Events in Belgravia range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces typically need council permission, and we will provide what the organiser asks for. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Catering for every guest

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Put all trader information in one pack
  • Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
  • Agree waste arrangements with traders
  • Provide seating near the food

If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.

Questions from Belgravia

Is parking a problem for events in Belgravia?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will work around it.

Can you run a stall at a school fair in Belgravia?

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

Do you cater for coeliacs?

We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

How long do you need on site?

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

Can you feed our volunteers?

Yes. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.

Can you do sangria?

Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

For planners, venues and organisers

For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Prices and what affects them

Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • How long we are needed on site
  • The number of people
  • Waiting and bar staff

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • The courses you’d like
  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • Expected numbers

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Planning the cooking area

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:

  • Flat, firm ground
  • Trader information and site rules
  • Pitch space for cooking and serving

As a London location, Belgravia is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the day works

A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Evening events in Belgravia have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
  2. You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
  3. We send the documents the event asks for.
  4. On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
  5. At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Name one person we can ask on the day
