Festival paella catering for Tingrith events

Should I cook it myself?

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

How our festival paella catering works in Tingrith

We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, from arrival times to waste. For feeding crew and volunteers and open days and community events, we can cook seafood paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella and more.

Rural events near Tingrith can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Prices and what affects them

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:

  • Parking and unloading
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • The length of service

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Which courses you have in mind
  • What the venue already provides
  • The address or venue name
  • Your date and when you want to eat

Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

The process

A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. Evening events in Tingrith have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
  2. You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
  3. Paperwork goes over in good time.
  4. On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
  5. When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

How to prepare

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Your questions about festival paella catering in Tingrith

Do you come out to small places like Tingrith?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Which station should guests use for Tingrith?

Harlington station, about 2.1 miles south-east of the centre.

Do you take everything away?

We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

Can the paella be cooked in a hall?

Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.

What if the weather’s bad?

A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.

Can you provide dessert?

We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.

Do you provide drinks?

Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

Why live cooking beats a buffet

For a stall that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
