Festival paella catering for your event in Baybridge
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. People follow the smell, and portions are served quickly from the pan. We’re frequently asked to cater farmers’ and Christmas markets and music and food festivals, serving chicken and chorizo paella, churros and vegan paella.
At a fête or field event near Baybridge, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
Community events around Baybridge
Baybridge is about 5 miles south-east of Winchester, in Hampshire.

We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. We cook right across the region, from Baybridge to Southampton (about 9 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like Owslebury Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Andrew, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. Evening events in Baybridge have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- We set up at the agreed time.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.

Where we can cook in Baybridge
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Flat, firm ground
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
What we offer

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
