Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
About our festival paella catering in Force Green
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. People follow the smell, and service from the pan is fast. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and churros, and we’re frequently booked for sports clubs and race days and charity and school events.
Events in Force Green range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers generally need council permission for public spaces, and we will provide what the organiser asks for. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
- Waiting and bar staff
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
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.

How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For an evening event in Force Green, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
