Festival paella catering in Borough Green, cooked live
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. On the menu are seafood paella, churros and vegan paella, and we’re often booked for village fêtes and music and food festivals.
Events near Borough Green are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything and needs little help is a bonus. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated.
The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
Seafood paella is always popular.
Giant paella pans
The giant pan is the star.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
Planning the cooking area
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Trader information and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste

Common questions in Borough Green
Is Borough Green close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What do you need at the pitch?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
