How our festival paella catering works in Copse Hill

Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Portions are served in seconds. We cook churros, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are frequently booked for agricultural and county shows and feeding crew and volunteers.

In Copse Hill, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, as long as the road closure or site permission is in place. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

What we need at the venue

If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

  • Spacing from tents and other structures
  • Pitch space for cooking and serving
  • Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down

Copse Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:

  • Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
  • Ask traders about packaging and waste
  • Book crew catering in advance
  • Ask about peak-time capacity

We set up at the agreed time.

Vegan paella alongside the rest.

Should I cook it myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

How the day works

Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. Summer events in Copse Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

  1. Tell us about the event and pitch.
  2. We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
  3. We set up on time.
  4. We cook in full view and serve all event.
  5. We clear and leave the pitch clean.

Getting ready for the day

  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
