Planning an event in Bordon?
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How our festival paella catering works in Bordon
The pans are part of the attraction. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. For school fairs and fundraisers and festivals, we can cook giant-pan paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Around Bordon, a fête or summer fair suits a huge paella pan. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
How we price festival paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Guest numbers
- How many staff you need
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Diets and allergies you know about
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Your date and when you want to eat
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Schedule crew meals
- Provide seating near the food
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe throughout the day.
Extra pans for busy periods.
Fairs, fêtes and events in Bordon
Bordon is about 10 miles south-west of Aldershot, in Hampshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Bordon or on the outskirts, festival paella catering works the same way: paella cooked live, every diet catered for and a clear quote. We cook in 683 places across Hampshire. Our events stretch from Bordon to Guildford (16 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair or fundraiser for a school such as Bordon Infant School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Mark's Sacred Church, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. Events in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Bordon, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
Anywhere in GU35, we can cook for your guests. Local streets include High Street, Station Road and Cobbett Square; an event at home on any of them works well with live paella.

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Bordon have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
