About our festival paella catering in Clapham Park
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. Popular choices include seafood paella, vegan paella and churros, and we are regularly asked to cater county and country shows and food and music festivals.
Street parties and school fairs in Clapham Park are a great fit for a paella stall, once permissions are sorted. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. Evening events in Clapham Park have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
