Festival paella catering in Cottonworth, made fresh on the day
Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Each portion takes seconds to serve. Typical bookings include country shows and farmers’ and Christmas markets, with vegan paella, giant-pan paella and churros.
Near Cottonworth, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Burger stalls are common. A paella pan stands out. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Schedule crew meals
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe.
Crew, volunteer and VIP catering.
How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Evening events in Cottonworth have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Vegans get a hot, filling dish.
Chicken & chorizo paella
