Festival paella catering in Broadfield, cooked live
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. For sports clubs and race days and christmas and farmers’ markets, we will put together a menu of vegan paella, churros and seafood paella.
Around Broadfield, a fête or summer fair suits a huge paella pan. Send us the pitch and access details. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
