About our festival paella catering in White City
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and churros, and typical bookings are for summer fairs and fêtes and music and food festivals.
In White City, street events mean planning access and closures. Tell us the pitch details and timings. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in White City stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
