The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Summer events in Mill Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Festival paella catering in Mill Hill, made fresh on the day
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and service from the pan is fast. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and churros, and we’re frequently booked for charity and school events and music and food festivals.
In Mill Hill, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, as long as the road closure or site permission is in place. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
