Festival paella catering for Fullerton events
How our festival paella catering works in Fullerton
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list in and around Fullerton. We’re often asked to cater christmas and farmers’ markets and open days, with giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
Near Fullerton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Questions from Fullerton
Can you cook in Longstock Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How far is Fullerton from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you have the documents we need?
Send your requirements and we will include them with our application.
Do you come to Fullerton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Fullerton is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Before you choose a spot
If a space is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.
What we offer
- Tapas
- Vegan paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Churros
- Giant paella pans

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For an evening event in Fullerton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
