Festival paella catering near Boughton Green
How our festival paella catering works in Boughton Green
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. For farmers’ and Christmas markets and festivals, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and seafood paella for your guests.
A fête near Boughton Green might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Summer events in Boughton Green have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
