About our festival paella catering in Harringay
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. We cook vegan paella, seafood paella and giant-pan paella, and we are regularly asked to cater seasonal markets and open days and community events.
In Harringay, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces normally need council permission, and we’ll provide what the organiser asks for. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your list and we’ll respond.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Your choice of paellas
- How many guests are eating
- How long we’re needed on site
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 will suggest a menu.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:

What else we do in Harringay
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Schedule crew meals
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Space, weather and the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Trader information and site rules
- Access for unloading at set-up
As a London location, Harringay is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
