Festival paella catering for Breach events
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

About our festival paella catering in Breach
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. On the menu are giant-pan paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for agricultural and county shows and crew, volunteer and VIP catering.
At a fête or field event near Breach, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Evening events in Breach have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
