Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

What else we do in Nash Street
How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Nash Street stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Tell us where to park and unload

Your questions about festival paella catering in Nash Street
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Nash Street?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Nash Street too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you do crew catering?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you have the documents we need?
Send your requirements and we will include them with our application.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
