Festival paella catering in Chazey Heath, made fresh on the day
We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and giant-pan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater farmers’ and Christmas markets and village fêtes and summer fairs.
For a village fête or field event near Chazey Heath, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For an evening event in Chazey Heath, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- 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.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Planning help
Catering for every guest
A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Larger pans for peak times.
Paella compared with other options
Burger stalls are common. Paella adds something different. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Parking and unloading
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
