About our festival paella catering in New Street
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. People follow the smell, and portions are served quickly from the pan. Popular choices include churros, giant-pan paella and vegan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days and crew, volunteer and VIP catering.
At a fête or field event near New Street, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Event catering near New Street
New Street is about 6 miles south of Northfleet, in Kent. From the centre of New Street to the outskirts, we offer the same service: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. New Street is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 21 miles away.
If your event is in Trosley Country Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we will supply our paperwork. School fairs, for a school like Culverstone Green Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall. Within about 7 miles is the Kent Downs National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.

What happens on the day
