Festival paella catering near Stalisfield Green
Common questions in Stalisfield Green
How far is Stalisfield Green from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could we have live paella in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
What do you need at the pitch?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Festival paella catering in Stalisfield Green, cooked live
Paella in a bowl is perfect festival food, on the move or on a picnic rug. Popular choices include vegan paella, giant-pan paella and seafood paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas and farmers’ markets and open days.
For a village fête or field event near Stalisfield Green, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Working with your venue
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
Pans cook in full view, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Stalisfield Green stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
