Festival paella catering for Oakley Green events
How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, events in Oakley Green stay light until about 9:25pm, 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.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

FAQs for Oakley Green
Is Oakley Green close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London.
Could we have live paella in Sutherland Grange?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
What do you need at the pitch?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Flat, firm ground
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we offer
- Churros
- Vegan paella
- Tapas
- Giant paella pans

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Burger stalls are common. Paella adds something different in a food line-up. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
