Your questions about festival paella catering in Bradwell Abbey
Do you trade at school fairs around Bradwell Abbey?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like Bradwell Abbey?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll check availability.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Live paella or other catering?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
