Festival paella catering in Faberstown, cooked live
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. We cook giant-pan paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and race days and village fêtes.
For a village fête or field event near Faberstown, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests usually gather round to watch while it cooks. Summer events in Faberstown have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
