Book festival paella catering in Isleworth

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Before you choose a spot

Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

  • Spacing from tents and other structures
  • The event’s site rules and timings
  • Flat, firm ground

As a London location, Isleworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

What affects the price in Isleworth

There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:

  • The number of people
  • The length of service
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Diets and allergies you know about
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Step by step

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch while it cooks. Evening events in Isleworth have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. First, we check the dates.
  2. We agree what we’ll serve and where.
  3. We set up our burners and pans.
  4. Pans are cooking as gates open.
  5. We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.

How do you work out quantities?

Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
