Questions from Bledington
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Bledington?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like Bledington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Will there be long queues?

How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Bledington?
Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Do you do starters?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. At midsummer, events in Bledington stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Live paella or other catering?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
