The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. For an evening event in Kingston Vale, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Your questions about festival paella catering in Kingston Vale
What’s the nearest station to Kingston Vale for guests?
The closest is Raynes Park station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can you cook in Wimbledon Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cater in Kingston Vale?
We do. We cook at events in Kingston Vale and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
