Festival paella catering for your event in Uxbridge
The pans are part of the attraction. People stop, watch and come back to eat. Whether it’s christmas and farmers’ markets and music and food festivals, we will put together a menu of giant-pan paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
In Uxbridge, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. Paella does exactly that. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Questions from Uxbridge
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Uxbridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Uxbridge close to London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
Do you cater in Uxbridge?
We do. We cook at events in Uxbridge and across Buckinghamshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
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.
Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Uxbridge? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
What we need at the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- The event’s site rules and timings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Is live paella right for your event?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

How the day works
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. At midsummer, events in Uxbridge stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Share the running order, including any speeches
