Festival paella catering in Brook Street
Festival paella catering for your event in Brook Street
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. Typical bookings include christmas and farmers’ markets and country shows, serving churros, vegan paella and seafood paella.
Near Brook Street, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What the venue already provides
- The venue or postcode
- Which courses you have in mind
- A photo of the space, if you can
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Brook Street
Is Brook Street close to London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Is Brook Street too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What documents can you send?
Send your requirements and we will include them with our application.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Trader information and site rules
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

How the day works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, events in Brook Street stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, 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.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Share the running order, including any speeches
