How our festival paella catering works in Brimpton Common
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. We are frequently asked to cater christmas and farmers’ markets and open days and community events, serving vegan paella, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
At a field event near Brimpton Common, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
