Planning an event in Sewardstone?
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Festival paella catering in Sewardstone, cooked live
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. We’re often asked to cater christmas and farmers’ markets and sports clubs and race days, with giant-pan paella, churros and seafood paella.
In Sewardstone, street events mean planning access and closures. Tell us the pitch details and timings. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Schedule crew meals
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Firm, level ground
- Room for our cooking and serving area
Sewardstone is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
