Festival paella catering in Chambers' Green, made fresh on the day
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. We are frequently asked to cater village fêtes and country shows, serving chicken and chorizo paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
At a field event near Chambers' Green, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- Firm, level ground
- Room for our cooking and serving area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Vegan paella
- Giant paella pans
- Seafood paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
- Churros
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many guests are eating
- How many staff you need
- Parking and unloading
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and rough timings
- Anything your venue supplies
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The courses you’d like
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Schedule crew meals
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.

What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Chambers' Green stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
