How our festival paella catering works in Kingsbury
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a huge paella. People follow the smell, and portions are served quickly from the pan. On the menu are seafood paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater school and charity events and feeding crew and volunteers.
In Kingsbury, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

About the dishes
Giant paella pans
It’s the huge pan people come to see.
Chicken & chorizo paella
A hearty, smoky pan.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
As a London location, Kingsbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.

What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- What the venue already provides
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where we’d cook
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Kingsbury stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Let us know the timings for the day
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Kingsbury
Could we have live paella in Roe Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What about parking in Kingsbury?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
