How our festival paella catering works in Abinger Hammer
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. For farmers’ and Christmas markets and school fairs and fundraisers, we will put together a menu of churros, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella for your guests.
Rural events near Abinger Hammer can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
