What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Greenhill stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

About our festival paella catering in Greenhill

London street parties and fairs in Greenhill need careful planning around road closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we are needed on site
- The number of people
- Starters, canapés and desserts
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.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything your venue supplies
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if you can
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.

DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Why choose live paella in Greenhill?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why Greenhill hosts choose us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Drinks service on request
- No hidden extras in your quote

- Give traders a single information pack
- Book crew catering in advance
- Check how many portions traders can serve
