Your questions about festival paella catering in Russ Hill
Can you cook in Edolph's Copse?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Is Russ Hill close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Why choose live paella in Russ Hill?

Why us?
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Real theatre, not just catering

Organising for someone else?
Organising a club, school or community event in Russ Hill? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Schedule crew meals
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Step by step
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For an evening event in Russ Hill, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Give us a contact for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
