Festival paella catering in Curbridge
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

About our festival paella catering in Curbridge
The cooking is part of the show. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella, and we’re often booked for community events and open days and farmers’ and Christmas markets.
Rural events near Curbridge can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

Is live paella right for your event?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
