DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
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. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
About our festival paella catering in Addlestone
We cook at festivals, fairs, markets, school and charity events, sports days and open days in and around Addlestone. On the menu are churros, seafood paella and vegan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater school fairs and fundraisers and festivals.
Around Addlestone, a fête or summer fair suits a giant paella pan. Send us the pitch and access details. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
Why choose live paella in Addlestone?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Evening events in Addlestone have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
