How our festival paella catering works in Baughurst
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. Whether it’s seasonal markets and music and food festivals, we can cook seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros for your guests.
At a field event near Baughurst, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Firm, level ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For event organisers in Baughurst
Organising a club, school or community event in Baughurst? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
Popular with families.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid.

The process
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Summer events in Baughurst 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.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
