Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, churros and seafood paella, and we are frequently booked for village fêtes and summer fairs and food and music festivals.
Near Silver Street, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Summer events in Silver Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Questions from Silver Street
Could we have live paella in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How quickly can you serve?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
