Festival paella catering for your event in Canons Park
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and churros, and we’re often booked for sports club events and country shows.
In Canons Park, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Your choice of paellas
- Distance and access to the venue
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d cook
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Organising for someone else?
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Canons Park: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Edgwarebury Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Canons Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
How quickly can you serve?
It’s one of the quickest hot foods to serve, ideal for peak times.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
What paperwork do you provide?
Share your trader requirements.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why Canons Park hosts choose us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- A clear, itemised quote
