About our festival paella catering in Kingston
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a giant paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. For VIP and hospitality areas and race days and sports events, we can cook seafood paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
In Kingston, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. Summer events in Kingston have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
