About festival paella catering in the Isle of Wight

Organisers can book us as a stall or as caterers for staff, crew, volunteers or VIP areas. Typical bookings include school fairs and fundraisers and village fêtes, with chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and seafood paella.

Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat.

It starts with your event details and pitch information.
You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.

Running an event in the Isle of Wight

Rural events in the Isle of Wight frequently need traders who bring everything with them, while events in Newport, Ryde and Cowes need fast service. A paella stall does both. Around 116 places in the Isle of Wight are close to the coast, where we always plan shelter from the wind.

Newport: If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Nine Acres Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Events in parks such as Seaclose Park need permission from the council or landowner, and we’ll send any documents they ask for. For an evening event in Newport, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

Planners, venues and businesses

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Catering for every guest

Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:

Ask for allergen information at each stall
Ask about peak-time capacity
Agree waste arrangements with traders
Schedule crew meals

We keep our pitch tidy and safe.

Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.

Not every trader covers vegans. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest.

FAQs for the Isle of Wight

What space do you need to cook?

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.

Can you cook halal paella?

Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

How many different paellas?

Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.

Can vegans eat at your stall?

Yes, always. There is a vegan pan next to the others.

Is the paella cooked on site?

Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
