Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Vegan paella alongside the rest.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Dishes our guests love

A proper vegan main, in its own pan.

Kitts End questions
Can you cook in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Kitts End?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
What does festival paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is live paella right for your event?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
