Is live paella right for your event?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check allergen info is on display
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.

How it works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For an evening event in Coney Hall, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.

- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
What we need at the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Flat, firm ground
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
As a London location, Coney Hall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
What does festival paella catering cost?

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
