Festival paella catering in Bradenham, cooked live
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a huge paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. Popular choices include seafood paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for open days and community events and race days and sports events.
Near Bradenham, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.

For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
