Festival paella catering for Greenhill events
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
How our festival paella catering works in Greenhill
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. For race days and sports events and seasonal markets, we will put together a menu of vegan paella, seafood paella and churros.
In Greenhill, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces usually need council permission, and we will provide what the organiser asks for. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. For an evening event in Greenhill, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.

As a London location, Greenhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
