How our festival paella catering works in Chinbrook
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and service from the pan is fast. For feeding crew and volunteers and village fêtes, we can cook vegan paella, seafood paella and churros.
In Chinbrook, street events mean planning access and closures. Tell us the pitch details and timings. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
