Festival paella catering in College Park
College Park: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for College Park?
College Park has its own station: Willesden Junction station.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in College Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
How our festival paella catering works in College Park
We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, from arrival times to waste. We’re often asked to cater crew, volunteer and VIP catering and food and music festivals, with seafood paella, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In College Park, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers generally need council permission for public spaces, and we will provide what the organiser asks for. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

For event organisers in College Park
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Give traders a single information pack
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
As a London location, College Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- The number of people
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. At midsummer, events in College Park stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
