Festival paella catering in South Tottenham
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, 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.
Festival paella catering in South Tottenham, made fresh on the day
We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. Popular choices include seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and sports clubs and race days.
Street parties and school fairs in South Tottenham are a great fit for a paella stall, once permissions are sorted. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Summer events in South Tottenham have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Leave space around the cooking area
