For event organisers in West Silvertown
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Provide seating near the food
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Extra pans for busy periods.

What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Summer events in West Silvertown 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.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
