How our festival paella catering works in Fawley
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. Whether it is school fairs and fundraisers and feeding crew and volunteers, we’ll put together a menu of churros, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
At a fête or field event near Fawley, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

FAQs for Fawley
Which station should guests use for Fawley?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Could we have live paella in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Absolutely. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
What documents can you send?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we’ll confirm our needs.

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s served at its best. At midsummer, events in Fawley stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Served hot, straight from the pan

What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
