Festival paella catering for Culverstone Green events
Is live paella right for your event?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Drinks service on request

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Culverstone Green stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
