Festival paella catering in Lewson Street
About our festival paella catering in Lewson Street
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. Whether it’s open days and christmas and farmers’ markets, we can cook churros, giant-pan paella and seafood paella for your guests.
Near Lewson Street, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Common questions in Lewson Street
Do you come out to small places like Lewson Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Lewson Street?
The closest is Teynham station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you have the documents we need?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. 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.
How the day works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Lewson Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day

- Tell us when you want to eat

Getting a price
