Festival paella catering in Wembley, cooked live
Crew and volunteer catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and seafood paella, and we are regularly asked to cater agricultural and county shows and village fêtes and summer fairs.
Street parties and school fairs in Wembley are a great fit for a paella stall, as long as the road closure or site permission is in place. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

FAQs for Wembley
Can you cook in Preston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you trade at school fairs around Wembley?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you come to Wembley?
Yes, we do. We cook at events in Wembley and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How the day works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. Evening events in Wembley have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.

What affects the price in Wembley
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The date and rough timings
- Anything your venue supplies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Firm, level ground
- Clear information on power, water and waste
As a London location, Wembley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
