About our festival paella catering in Albury Heath
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. For festivals and agricultural and county shows, we will put together a menu of vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella and more.
Near Albury Heath, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For an evening event in Albury Heath, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
