Festival paella catering for Harrow on the Hill events

Festival paella catering for your event in Harrow on the Hill

A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. Typical bookings include sports club events and open days and community events, serving chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and seafood paella.

London street parties and fairs in Harrow on the Hill need careful planning around road closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

DIY paella versus live catering

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.

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.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
