About our festival paella catering in The Wrythe
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. We are frequently asked to cater feeding crew and volunteers and food and music festivals, serving vegan paella, churros and seafood paella.
In The Wrythe, street events mean planning access and closures. Send us the pitch and timings. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. At midsummer, events in The Wrythe stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Questions from The Wrythe
What about parking in The Wrythe?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Could we have live paella in Carshalton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Absolutely. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Do you cover The Wrythe?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and The Wrythe is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.

What we need at the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
The Wrythe is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
