Your questions about festival paella catering in Eastbury

What’s the nearest station to Eastbury for guests?

Carpenders Park station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.

Can you run a stall at a school fair in Eastbury?

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Who clears up?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

What paperwork do you provide?

Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send it with our application.

Can you serve tapas as well?

Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

Do you provide drinks?

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

Is it really cooked live?

It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.

Do you do crew catering?

Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.

DIY paella versus live catering

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

What festival paella catering costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • The length of service

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • What the venue already provides
  • Roughly how many adults and children

To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Eastbury, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.

Catering for every guest

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:

  • Put picnic tables near the traders
  • Book crew catering in advance
  • Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
  • Agree waste arrangements with traders

Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.

Space, weather and the venue

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:

  • Room for our cooking and serving area
  • Your arrangements for power, water and waste
  • A level pitch on firm ground

As a London location, Eastbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  • Tapas
  • Chicken & chorizo paella

Organising for someone else?

Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

The process

On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. For an evening event in Eastbury, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. It starts with your event details and pitch information.
  2. We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
  3. We set up at the agreed time.
  4. Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
  5. At the end, we clear our pitch.

Getting ready for the day

  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Tell us when you want to eat
