Festival paella catering in Deerton Street
How our festival paella catering works in Deerton Street
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a giant paella. People follow the smell, and service from the pan is fast. Typical bookings include feeding crew and volunteers and music and food festivals, with churros, seafood paella and giant-pan paella.
Rural events near Deerton Street can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

It feeds crew and volunteers well on a long day.
Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We often cook for:

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, events in Deerton Street stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Why choose live paella in Deerton Street?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before you book.
