Festival paella catering in Tickleback Row, made fresh on the day

Tickleback Row questions
Is Tickleback Row close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Tickleback Row?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Tickleback Row?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you cook indoors?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Where we can cook in Tickleback Row
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Trader information and site rules
- Vehicle access before and after the event
