Is live paella right for your event?

Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Why us?

  • Catering across Milton Keynes, including Cold Brayfield
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • Live cooking, not reheated food

Your questions about festival paella catering in Cold Brayfield

Can you run a stall at a school fair in Cold Brayfield?

Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

Do you come out to small places like Cold Brayfield?

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Who clears up?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Can you cater for crew and volunteers?

Yes. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.

Do you do vegan paella?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

How many paellas should we have?

Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.

Do you need power?

Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

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.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

How it works

Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening events in Cold Brayfield have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

  1. Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
  2. You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
  3. Paperwork goes over in good time.
  4. We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
  5. When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

Preparing for the day

  • Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Give us a contact for the day
