Festival paella catering in Clanville, cooked live
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. Typical bookings include village fêtes and summer fairs and farmers’ and Christmas markets, with giant-pan paella, churros and vegan paella.
Near Clanville, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Diets, allergies and planning
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Plan seating near the food area
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Schedule crew meals
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Extra pans for busy periods.

Questions from Clanville
What’s the nearest station to Clanville for guests?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Do you trade at school fairs around Clanville?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Clanville.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
The menu, dish by dish
Chicken & chorizo paella
Popular with families.
Giant paella pans
Huge pans of golden rice.
Is live paella right for your event?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
What you get with us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For an evening event in Clanville, 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.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
