Festival paella catering in Sevenoaks Weald, cooked live
We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. We’re often asked to cater school fairs and fundraisers and crew, volunteer and VIP catering, serving churros, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella.
Near Sevenoaks Weald, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Common questions in Sevenoaks Weald
Could we have live paella in Knole Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have the documents we need?
Share your trader requirements and we’ll respond.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we will confirm.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
