About our festival paella catering in Bramshott
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. Whether it is village fêtes and summer fairs and feeding crew and volunteers, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, churros and seafood paella for your guests.
A fête near Bramshott might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Allergen information is available at the stall.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
For event organisers in Bramshott
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

The process
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For an evening event in Bramshott, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Let us know the timings for the day
