Festival paella catering in Pitshanger
How our festival paella catering works in Pitshanger
The cooking is part of the show. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. We’re often asked to cater school fairs and fundraisers and country shows, with chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and churros.
In Pitshanger, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Waiting and bar staff
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- Your choice of paellas
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Where the event is
- Anything your venue supplies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Live paella or other catering?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why Pitshanger hosts choose us
- Catering across Greater London, including Pitshanger
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

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. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
