FAQs for Goddard's Green
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Goddard's Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is Goddard's Green close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Do you need water?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Is live paella right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Drinks service on request
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Provide seating near the food
- Give traders a single information pack
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
Extra pans for busy periods.

How we price festival paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts
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’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- What the venue already provides
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.
