Festival paella catering for Canada events
How our festival paella catering works in Canada
We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. On the menu are churros, seafood paella and giant-pan paella, and we are frequently booked for county and country shows and village fêtes.
At a field event near Canada, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
The process
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Summer events in Canada have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Is live paella right for your event?

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Book crew catering in advance
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Give traders a single information pack
Crew meals are served at set times.
