Festival paella catering in Eastfields, cooked live

One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. Whether it’s country shows and open days, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and churros and more.

In Eastfields, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

What affects the price in Eastfields

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The number of people
  • Whether you need crockery
  • How many staff you need
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood

There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

What to tell us

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Where the event is
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

How the day works

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. For an evening event in Eastfields, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
  2. We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
  3. Paperwork goes over in good time.
  4. On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
  5. At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us your final numbers and diets
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Have a level space ready for the pans

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

Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

Is parking a problem for events in Eastfields?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.

Do you cover Eastfields?

Yes, we do. Eastfields is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Can we add tapas or canapés?

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

What documents can you send?

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

Is there a vegan option?

Absolutely. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.

Dietary needs and planning tips

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:

  • Put all trader information in one pack
  • Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
  • Check allergen info is on display
  • Check traders’ packaging and waste plans

We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.

Organising for someone else?

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

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:

  • Access for unloading at set-up
  • The event’s site rules and timings
  • Room for our cooking and serving area
