Should I cook it myself?

Teddington: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Bushy Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Teddington?
Teddington has its own station: Teddington station.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Teddington?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Teddington stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
