About our festival paella catering in Nag's Head
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and service from the pan is fast. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and churros, and we are frequently booked for race days and sports events and school and charity events.
Street parties and school fairs in Nag's Head are a great fit for a paella stall, as long as the road closure or site permission is in place. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

How the day works
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For an evening event in Nag's Head, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Tell us when you want to eat

Fairs, fêtes and events in Nag's Head
Nag's Head is about 2 miles north-west of Hoxton, in Greater London.

We cater in 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Events in parks such as Whittington Park need permission from the council or landowner, and we’ll send any documents they ask for. School fairs, for a school like Grafton Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How long we are needed on site
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- What the venue already provides
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Nag's Head, and we will put together a menu and price.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
Nag's Head is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
