About our festival paella catering in Catmore
Crew and volunteer catering can be timed to your schedule, keeping your team fed. Popular choices include giant-pan paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater music and food festivals and open days and community events.
Rural events near Catmore can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
A hearty, smoky pan, popular with families.
Giant paella pans
Huge pans of golden rice.
Step by step
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening events in Catmore have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
