Festival paella catering in Perivale, made fresh on the day
The pans are part of the attraction. People stop, watch and come back to eat. Typical bookings include music and food festivals and crew, volunteer and VIP catering, serving seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella.
Street parties and school fairs in Perivale 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 is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

How the day works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. Summer events in Perivale have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Paella compared with other options

- Community events and open days

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Perivale questions
Is parking a problem for events in Perivale?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Perivale?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
