Festival paella catering for your event in Tuesley
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a huge paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and service from the pan is fast. For community events and open days and seasonal markets, we can cook vegan paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
A fête near Tuesley might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Step by step
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. Evening events in Tuesley have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

How far is Tuesley from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much paella per person?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
How soon do we need to book?

Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.

We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can I cook paella for a crowd 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.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
