Paella compared with other options
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

- A clear, itemised quote
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria and bar staff available

Questions from Bowes Park
Could we have live paella in Woodside Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Bowes Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
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.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Trader information and site rules
- A level pitch on firm ground
As a London location, Bowes Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Check how many portions traders can serve

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Bowes Park have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
