Festival paella catering for Wimbledon Park events
Community events around Wimbledon Park
Wimbledon Park is about 1 mile north of Wimbledon, in Greater London. From the centre of Wimbledon Park to the outskirts, we offer the same service: live cooking, separate pans for every diet and a clear price. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 7 miles away.
If your event is in King George's Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply our paperwork. If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Albemarle Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser.
Wherever your event is in SW19 and SW18, we can bring festival paella catering to you. We can cater an event on streets such as Dora Road, Church Road and Arthur Road. Main roads around Wimbledon Park include the A218, so getting the burners and pans to your event is simple. For events just outside Wimbledon Park, we cover Wimbledon (1 mile south), Crooked Billet (1 mile south-west), Copse Hill (2 miles south-west), Merton Park (2 miles south) and Wimbledon Chase (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover London (7 miles north-east), City of Westminster (6 miles north-east), Marylebone (6 miles north-east), Kensington (4 miles north), St Pancras (7 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-east).

How our festival paella catering works in Wimbledon Park
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. For village fêtes and summer fairs and food and music festivals, we’ll put together a menu of seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella.
Street parties and school fairs in Wimbledon Park are a great fit for a paella stall, as long as the road closure or site permission is in place. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Wimbledon Park questions
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Wimbledon Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you cook in King George's Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How quickly can you serve?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Space, weather and the venue
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
As a London location, Wimbledon Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. Evening events in Wimbledon Park have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day

Is live paella right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. 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’ll suggest a menu.
