Festival paella catering for Horn Park events
Planning the cooking area
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- Trader information and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
Horn Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Horn Park? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- Your choice of paellas
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- What the venue already provides
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Questions from Horn Park
Do you trade at school fairs around Horn Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you cook in Manor House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Absolutely. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the details, and we will reply with our availability and what we need.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Schedule crew meals
- Give traders a single information pack
- Plan seating near the food area
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.

What else we do in Horn Park
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer events in Horn Park have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Why choose live paella in Horn Park?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. 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.
