Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check allergen info is on display
- Schedule crew meals
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
About our festival paella catering in Walworth
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. People follow the smell, and service from the pan is fast. Whether it’s school fairs and fundraisers and race days and sports events, we can cook giant-pan paella, churros and vegan paella for your guests.
In Walworth, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers typically need council permission for public spaces, and we will send whatever the organiser needs. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Walworth
Could we have live paella in Nursery Row Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.

Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
What happens if it rains?

What festival paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The venue or postcode

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. Summer events in Walworth have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
