Hatchford: your questions answered
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Hatchford?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Hatchford from London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What does festival paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Do you need power?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Festival paella catering in Hatchford, cooked live
Crew meals are timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. For festivals and seasonal markets, we can cook seafood paella, giant-pan paella and vegan paella and more.
At a fête or field event near Hatchford, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Live paella or other catering?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
