How our festival paella catering works in Bromley Green
The cooking is part of the show. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. For village fêtes and summer fairs and open days, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
A fête near Bromley Green might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Bromley Green: your questions answered
Can you cook at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Bromley Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you need water?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Is live paella right for your event?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Working with your venue
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Clear information on power, water and waste

Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times

- Book crew catering in advance
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Extra pans for busy periods.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening events in Bromley Green have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a level space ready for the pans
