Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Larger pans for peak times.
Your questions about festival paella catering in Slade Green
Which station should guests use for Slade Green?
Slade Green has its own station: Slade Green station.
Is parking a problem for events in Slade Green?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We will plan unloading around it.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
What does festival paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we will let you know if we are available.
Why choose live paella in Slade Green?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
