What happens on the day
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Evening events in Bewbush have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Bewbush questions
Can you cook in Target Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Bewbush close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does festival paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.

Send us the details, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
When should we book?
