Festival paella catering in Cippenham
Festival paella catering for your event in Cippenham
We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, from arrival times to waste. We are frequently asked to cater school fairs and fundraisers and open days, with churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In Cippenham, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
Where we can cook in Cippenham
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:

How much does festival paella catering cost in Cippenham?

When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Give traders a single information pack
- Schedule crew meals
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Provide seating near the food
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. Evening events in Cippenham have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.

- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
