Live festival paella catering in Greenford
What festival paella catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many staff you need
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
- How many courses
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check allergen info is on display
Allergen details are available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Larger pans for peak times.
Is live paella right for your event?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Evening events in Greenford have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- 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 pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day

Questions from Greenford
Can you cook in Northala Fields?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is parking a problem for events in Greenford?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you cook indoors?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
