Festival paella catering in Bethnal Green, cooked live

In Bethnal Green, street events mean planning access and closures. Send us the pitch and timings. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Questions from Bethnal Green
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Bethnal Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What about parking in Bethnal Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes, always. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is live paella right for your event?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

What affects the price in Bethnal Green
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- The length of service
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- The courses you’d like
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For an evening event in Bethnal Green, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Share the running order, including any speeches
