Festival paella catering for your event in Souldern
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. For sports club events and open days and community events, we can cook seafood paella, vegan paella and churros and more.
A fête near Souldern might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.

Questions from Souldern
How far is Souldern from London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Souldern?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Try these:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch.
Larger pans for peak times.
How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer events in Souldern have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot

- Firm, level ground
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
