Festival paella catering in Easington, cooked live
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. Popular choices include giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros, and typical bookings are for music and food festivals and farmers’ and Christmas markets.
Near Easington, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Easington questions
Is Easington too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you trade at school fairs around Easington?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you cover Easington?
We do. Easington is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe throughout the day.

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
