Festival paella catering for Atherfield Green events
Festival paella catering in Atherfield Green, made fresh on the day
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. Popular choices include vegan paella, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater race days and sports events and music and food festivals.
At a field event near Atherfield Green, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
