How our festival paella catering works in Anvil Green
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. For VIP and hospitality areas and village fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of giant-pan paella, churros and seafood paella and more.
For a village fête or field event near Anvil Green, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Perfect for your event in Anvil Green
It works at small fêtes and big festivals.
Whatever the occasion, paella can be the star of the food. We often cook for:
- Festivals
- Village fêtes
- Crew, volunteer and VIP catering
- Race days and sports events
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Bartholomew, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What festival paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many staff you need
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
- The length of service
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- What the venue already provides
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. Summer events in Anvil Green have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Paella compared with other options
