How our festival paella catering works in Belmont
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list in and around Belmont. For open days and community events and seasonal markets, we’ll put together a menu of seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros.
In Belmont, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
Planning the cooking area
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Flat, firm ground
- Your trader pack and site rules
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we offer
- Seafood paella
- Churros
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Vegan paella
- Giant paella pans
- Tapas
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Put all trader information in one pack
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Larger pans for peak times.

Is live paella right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
