How our festival paella catering works in Enham Alamein
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, from arrival times to waste. Typical bookings include country shows and music and food festivals, serving churros, seafood paella and vegan paella.
Rural events near Enham Alamein can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Paella compared with other options
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, keeping queues short. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Fast service from the pan

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
