Festival paella catering for your event in Clanfield
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. We are frequently asked to cater community events and open days and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving churros, vegan paella and seafood paella.
Near Clanfield, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat, firm ground
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Trader information and site rules
