Festival paella catering for Barnsole events
Festival paella catering in Barnsole, cooked live
Paella in a bowl is perfect festival food, standing up or sitting on the grass. On the menu are seafood paella, churros and vegan paella, and we’re frequently booked for christmas and farmers’ markets and county and country shows.
For a village fête or field event near Barnsole, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Paella compared with other options
For a stall that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
