How our festival paella catering works in Lions Green
Organisers can book us as a stall or as caterers for staff, crew, volunteers or VIP areas. Popular choices include churros, seafood paella and giant-pan paella, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and race days and community events and open days.
For a village fête or field event near Lions Green, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Put picnic tables near the traders
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe throughout the day.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:

Lions Green questions
How far is Lions Green from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Is Lions Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
Do you come to Lions Green?
Yes, we do. Lions Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the details, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.
Do you have the documents we need?
Share your trader requirements and we’ll respond.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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.

- Christmas and farmers’ markets

- School fairs and fundraisers

Before you book anyone
- How many staff are coming, and for how long
- What the price includes, item by item
- VAT, if it applies
- What the caterer needs from your venue
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Lions Green stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Why choose live paella in Lions Green?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why Lions Green hosts choose us
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- No hidden extras in your quote
