Your questions about festival paella catering in Forty Hill
What about parking in Forty Hill?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Forty Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Absolutely. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.

Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Festival paella catering in Forty Hill, made fresh on the day
The pans are part of the attraction. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. Whether it is race days and sports events and open days and community events, we can cook churros, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella for your guests.
In Forty Hill, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces usually need council permission, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Catering for every guest
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Check allergen info is on display
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
Is live paella right for your event?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Sangria and bar staff available
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Hot food served quickly from the pan

- Expected numbers

Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Organising a club, school or community event in Forty Hill? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
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. At midsummer, events in Forty Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
