Festival paella catering in Widmore
Festival paella catering for your event in Widmore
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. Typical bookings include sports club events and music and food festivals, serving vegan paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
London street parties and fairs in Widmore need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Paella compared with other options

Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Firm, level ground
- Clear information on power, water and waste
As a London location, Widmore is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

Common questions in Widmore
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about parking in Widmore?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll work around it.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check how many portions traders can serve
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.

Working with your venue

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
