Festival paella catering in Bulphan
Catering for every guest
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:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Plan seating near the food area
- Give traders a single information pack
Pans cook in full view, and serve from the pan throughout the event.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Bulphan stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.

- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.

Bulphan questions
What’s the nearest station to Bulphan for guests?
The closest is West Horndon station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do you trade at school fairs around Bulphan?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
