About our festival paella catering in Curbridge
Organisers can book us as a stall or as caterers for staff, crew, volunteers or VIP areas. Whether it’s race days and sports events and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can cook churros, seafood paella and giant-pan paella for your guests.
For events in a place like Curbridge, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A paella stall does that. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Paella compared with other options
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why us?
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Events in Curbridge and across Hampshire
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
