Festival paella catering in St Luke's, cooked live
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. We cook giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros, and typical bookings are for county and country shows and sports club events.
London street parties and fairs in St Luke's need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

The huge pan is the star.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening events in St Luke's have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area

As a London location, St Luke's is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
