Festival paella catering in Durley Street
Festival paella catering in Durley Street, cooked live
Paella in a bowl is perfect festival food, standing up or sitting on the grass. For festivals and village fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of vegan paella, seafood paella and giant-pan paella.
Rural events near Durley Street can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

Live paella or other catering?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
