How our festival paella catering works in Eversley Cross
We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. Whether it’s community events and open days and feeding crew and volunteers, we can cook giant-pan paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
Rural events near Eversley Cross can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.
Paella compared with other options
For a stall that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why Eversley Cross hosts choose us
- Real theatre, not just catering
- A clear, itemised quote
- Sangria and bar staff available
- Fast service from the pan

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Schedule crew meals
- Put all trader information in one pack
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.

Eversley Cross: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Eversley Cross?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Eversley Cross?
Crowthorne station, about 2.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you have the documents we need?
Send your requirements and we will include them with our application.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Eversley Cross have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
