Festival paella catering near Lacey Green
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Plan seating near the food area
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
How our festival paella catering works in Lacey Green
We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. We are frequently asked to cater school and charity events and sports club events, with chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and churros.
At a field event near Lacey Green, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

FAQs for Lacey Green
How far is Lacey Green from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
Do you need water?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
What affects the price in Lacey Green
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Waiting and bar staff
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- The courses you’d like
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Is live paella right for your event?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

- A quote that spells everything out
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
