About our festival paella catering in East Peckham
Crew and volunteer catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. For crew, volunteer and VIP catering and open days, we’ll put together a menu of vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella for your guests.
A fête near East Peckham might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
What’s in the pans
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid for fish lovers.
Chicken & chorizo paella
A hearty, smoky pan, popular with families.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. For an evening event in East Peckham, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

How we price festival paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
- The length of service
- The number of people
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
