How our festival paella catering works in Bexleyheath
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a giant paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and service from the pan is fast. On the menu are seafood paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella, and typical bookings are for charity and school events and music and food festivals.
In Bexleyheath, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
