How our festival paella catering works in Berrick Salome
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. Whether it’s food and music festivals and charity and school events, we can cook seafood paella, giant-pan paella and churros.
A fête near Berrick Salome might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Questions from Berrick Salome
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Berrick Salome close to London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Firm, level ground
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
