Festival paella catering near Surbiton Park
How it works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. For an evening event in Surbiton Park, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

What does festival paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will let you know if we are available.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Space, weather and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Flat, firm ground
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Your trader pack and site rules
Surbiton Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Why us?
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
