Festival paella catering in Amen Corner, cooked live
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. For sports clubs and race days and country shows, we will put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and churros.
In Amen Corner, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
