Festival paella catering for your event in Little London
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. People follow the smell, and portions are served quickly from the pan. We cook seafood paella, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for open days and race days and sports events.
For a village fête or field event near Little London, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Dietary needs and planning tips
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Schedule crew meals
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
What you get with us
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Everything cooked fresh at your event

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

How we price festival paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The paellas you choose
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
