How our festival paella catering works in Plaistow Green
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. We cook seafood paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella, and typical bookings are for country shows and school fairs and fundraisers.
At a field event near Plaistow Green, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check allergen info is on display
Allergen information is available at the stall.
