Festival paella catering for Brompton events
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues often 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 will follow them.
Festival paella catering in Brompton, made fresh on the day
Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Portions are served in seconds. We are often asked to cater country shows and VIP and hospitality areas, with churros, giant-pan paella and seafood paella.
London street parties and fairs in Brompton need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

What affects the price in Brompton
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

- The date and time of the event
- What the venue already provides

Is live paella right for your event?

Why us?
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Vegan paella alongside the rest.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
As a London location, Brompton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
