How our festival paella catering works in Creekmouth
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. For charity and school events and seasonal markets, we will put together a menu of churros, vegan paella and seafood paella and more.
In Creekmouth, street events mean planning access and closures. Tell us the pitch details and timings. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Can you run a stall at a school fair in Creekmouth?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you cook in Abbey Wood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Check allergen info is on display
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Ask about peak-time capacity
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Larger pans for peak times.
Planning the cooking area
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event
As a London location, Creekmouth 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 will advise before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
