Festival paella catering in Paddington Green
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. Summer events in Paddington Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

How our festival paella catering works in Paddington Green

In Paddington Green, street events mean planning access and closures. Send us the pitch and timings. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
