Festival paella catering for Little Woodcote events
Festival paella catering in Little Woodcote, made fresh on the day
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. Typical bookings include festivals and open days, with chicken and chorizo paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
In Little Woodcote, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces, and we will send whatever the organiser needs. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

FAQs for Little Woodcote
Which station should guests use for Little Woodcote?
Woodmansterne station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Could we have live paella in Carshalton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
What does festival paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Burger stalls are common. A paella pan stands out. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
