We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. For country shows and summer fairs and fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of giant-pan paella, vegan paella and seafood paella and more.
Near Bagnor, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Bagnor
Do you come out to small places like Bagnor?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook in Victoria Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Bagnor?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- How long we are needed on site
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Bagnor, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. Summer events in Bagnor have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
