Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
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.
About our festival paella catering in Twickenham
Crew meals are timed to your schedule, keeping your team fed. We’re frequently asked to cater sports clubs and race days and crew, volunteer and VIP catering, with vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella.
In Twickenham, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, as long as the road closure or site permission is in place. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Twickenham: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Marble Hill Park?

What about parking in Twickenham?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Twickenham?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you need power?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is live paella right for your event?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
