About our festival paella catering in Tottenham
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. Whether it is seasonal markets and community events and open days, we will put together a menu of churros, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Events in Tottenham range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Public spaces usually need council permission, and we will provide what the organiser asks for. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, events in Tottenham stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.
What affects the price in Tottenham
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Timings and hours
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Tottenham
What about parking in Tottenham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Bruce Castle Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you have the documents we need?
Send your requirements and we will include them with our application.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
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.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
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 picture.
