About our festival paella catering in Soho
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, from arrival times to waste. Popular choices include churros, vegan paella and giant-pan paella, and typical bookings are for country shows and feeding crew and volunteers.
In Soho, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces, and we’ll send whatever the organiser needs. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Spacing from tents and other structures
As a London location, Soho is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The paellas you choose
- How many guests are eating
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Parking and unloading
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Soho have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Dishes our guests love

Popular with families.
