How our festival paella catering works in Crosswater
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and giant-pan paella, and we are regularly asked to cater festivals and open days.
For a village fête or field event near Crosswater, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
For event organisers in Crosswater
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh. Summer events in Crosswater have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
