About our festival paella catering in Deane
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. We are frequently asked to cater crew, volunteer and VIP catering and food and music festivals, serving vegan paella, seafood paella and giant-pan paella.
Rural events near Deane can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. Evening events in Deane have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking

Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

For event organisers in Deane
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Larger pans for peak times.
