Festival paella catering for your event in Brockham

For event organisers in Brockham
Organising a club, school or community event in Brockham? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we will suggest a menu.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, events in Brockham stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Schedule crew meals
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Ask about peak-time capacity
We cook in full view of visitors, serving throughout the event.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
