How our festival paella catering works in Asheridge

Rural events near Asheridge can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For an evening event in Asheridge, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

Live paella or other catering?

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
