Live festival paella catering in Chapel Row

How our festival paella catering works in Chapel Row

Organisers can book us as a stall or as caterers for staff, crew, volunteers or VIP areas. Typical bookings include school fairs and fundraisers and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving vegan paella, giant-pan paella and churros.

Rural events near Chapel Row can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Dishes our guests love

Seafood paella

Prawns, mussels and squid for fish lovers.

Vegan paella

Vegan visitors get a real meal.

How we price festival paella catering

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • How many guests are eating
  • Starters, canapés and desserts

Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

What we need to know

To speed things up, tell us:

  • What the venue already provides
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
  • A photo of the space, if you can

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Step by step

Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Summer events in Chapel Row have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
  2. We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
  3. On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
  4. We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
  5. We clear the pitch and leave it clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
