Festival paella catering for your event in Duckett's Green
The cooking is part of the show. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. We cook giant-pan paella, seafood paella and churros, and typical bookings are for feeding crew and volunteers and christmas and farmers’ markets.
In Duckett's Green, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, as long as the road closure or site permission is in place. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
