Festival paella catering in Fairford Leys, cooked live
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. Popular choices include giant-pan paella, vegan paella and churros, and we are regularly asked to cater school and charity events and open days and community events.
In Fairford Leys, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

How far ahead should we book?

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Is live paella right for your event?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
