Live festival paella catering in Kew
Festival paella catering for your event in Kew
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. For school fairs and fundraisers and VIP and hospitality areas, we will put together a menu of vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros.
In Kew, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, as long as the road closure or site permission is in place. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

About the dishes
Vegan paella
Vegans get a hot, filling dish.
Giant paella pans
Huge pans of golden rice, cooking in full view.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
Kew 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 you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why choose festival paella catering in Kew?
It feeds crew and volunteers well.
Live paella suits almost any gathering. People in Kew book us for occasions like:
- Feeding crew and volunteers
- Summer fairs and fêtes

School fairs, for a school like Grove Park Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Who provides the crockery
- Space, access and power needs

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- The number of people
- Distance and access to the venue
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Anything your venue supplies
- The courses you’d like
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.

What do you need at the pitch?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Do you have a kids’ option?

Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
