Festival paella catering for Singlewell or Ifield events

- Access for unloading at set-up

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Festival paella catering in Singlewell or Ifield, cooked live
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, from arrival times to waste. For race days and sports events and christmas and farmers’ markets, we will put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and churros and more.
A fête near Singlewell or Ifield might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

FAQs for Singlewell or Ifield
Is Singlewell or Ifield close to London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could we have live paella in Jeskyns?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
