Festival paella catering in Westcombe Park, cooked live
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a huge paella. People follow the smell, and service from the pan is fast. For village fêtes and christmas and farmers’ markets, we’ll put together a menu of giant-pan paella, churros and seafood paella for your guests.
In Westcombe Park, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Summer events in Westcombe Park 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 and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
As a London location, Westcombe Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
