What else we do in Winkfield Street
About the dishes
Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella is always popular.
Is live paella right for your event?
Burger stalls are common. Paella adds something different in a food line-up. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Is Winkfield Street too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
How much paella per person?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you need water?
Send pitch details and we’ll confirm.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For an evening event in Winkfield Street, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How we price festival paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many staff you need
- The number of people
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
