About our festival paella catering in Key's Green
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. Whether it is farmers’ and Christmas markets and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can cook vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella and more.
Rural events near Key's Green can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Room for our cooking and serving area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Key's Green
How far is Key's Green from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need.

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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Provide seating near the food
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Check allergen info is on display
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch.
Larger pans for peak times.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
