Festival paella catering for your event in Kingsland
The cooking is part of the show. People stop, watch and come back to eat. We cook seafood paella, vegan paella and churros, and typical bookings are for music and food festivals and country shows.
In Kingsland, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces generally need council permission, and we will send whatever the organiser needs. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Summer events in Kingsland have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Getting a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

For event organisers in Kingsland

Kingsland: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Kingsland?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you cook in Shoreditch Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
