Our festival paella catering in West Berkshire

The cooking is part of the show. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. Typical bookings include village fêtes and VIP and hospitality areas, serving churros, vegan paella and seafood paella.

Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away.

Fairs, fêtes and festivals across West Berkshire

West Berkshire has events everywhere, from Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common to village fêtes in 139 small places. A paella stall suits all of them. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across West Berkshire, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles and cooking.

Newbury: Events in parks such as Victoria Park need permission from the council or landowner, and we’ll send any documents they ask for. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Nicolas Church, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. For an evening event in Newbury, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.

Who books festival paella catering?

It suits outdoor events of all sizes.

Almost any gathering can work with live paella. In West Berkshire, people book us for events such as:

Village fêtes and summer fairs
Open days and community events
Music and food festivals
Agricultural and county shows

Why live cooking beats a buffet

Most stalls cook to order. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly.

Questions to ask before you book

Whether crockery, cutlery and napkins are included
If the price includes VAT
When final numbers are due
Staff numbers and hours

Before you choose a spot

We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:

Your trader pack and site rules
A level pitch on firm ground
Details of power, water and waste arrangements

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
