Festival paella catering for your event in Denmark Hill
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. On the menu are churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are frequently booked for village fêtes and sports clubs and race days.
In Denmark Hill, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces, and we will send whatever the organiser needs. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Denmark Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Let us know the timings for the day

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Planning the cooking area
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
