Festival paella catering near Chicheley
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Festival paella catering for your event in Chicheley
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. For crew, volunteer and VIP catering and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and seafood paella for your guests.
Rural events near Chicheley can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Summer events in Chicheley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
