About our festival paella catering in Bishopsgate
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list. Typical bookings include sports club events and VIP and hospitality areas, serving chicken and chorizo paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
Near Bishopsgate, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Summer events in Bishopsgate have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.

Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Live paella or other catering?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- Fast service from the pan
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
Where we can cook in Bishopsgate
