Festival paella catering in Broad Green
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
About our festival paella catering in Broad Green
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list. Popular choices include giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella, and we’re frequently booked for farmers’ and Christmas markets and feeding crew and volunteers.
London street parties and fairs in Broad Green need careful planning around road closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
As a London location, Broad Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Common questions in Broad Green
Could we have live paella in Waddon Ponds?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What’s the nearest station to Broad Green for guests?
West Croydon station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
What does festival paella catering cost?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Do you cover Broad Green?
We do. We cook at events in Broad Green and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.

What else we do in Broad Green
How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Summer events in Broad Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
