Festival paella catering in Caversfield, made fresh on the day

Rural events near Caversfield can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The courses you’d like
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Caversfield, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
The process
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. At midsummer, events in Caversfield stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Access for unloading at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Flat, firm ground
