Live paella or other catering?

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Spacing from tents and other structures
Sewardstonebury is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Questions from Sewardstonebury
Can you cook in Lee Valley Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What about parking in Sewardstonebury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you need power?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Check allergen info is on display
- Schedule crew meals
We keep our pitch tidy and safe.

For planners, venues and organisers
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.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. Summer events in Sewardstonebury have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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.
