Festival paella catering in Bell Green
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
As a London location, Bell Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

About our festival paella catering in Bell Green
We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. We’re often asked to cater sports club events and village fêtes, with chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and seafood paella.
Events in Bell Green range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces generally need council permission, and we will provide what the organiser asks for. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

How it works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, events in Bell Green stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive

Bell Green questions
What about parking in Bell Green?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
Could we have live paella in Mayow Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Is the paella gluten-free?
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?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes, always. There is a vegan pan next to the others.
Do you have the documents we need?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.

For event organisers in Bell Green
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
