Festival paella catering for your event in Broughton
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. We’re frequently asked to cater village fêtes and charity and school events, with seafood paella, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Events near Broughton are often volunteer-run, so a self-sufficient trader makes life easier. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Broughton have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Ensure we can park close by to unload

Planning help
Is live paella right for your event?
Burger stalls are common. Paella adds something different. 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.
Why us?
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Catering across Buckinghamshire, including Broughton
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
See Our prices page And The cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Timings and hours
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The courses you’d like
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can use our quote form.
