Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
We set up at the agreed time.

- Pitch space for cooking and serving

- Vehicle access before and after the event
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Felderland
Is Felderland close to London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Could we have live paella in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
What documents can you send?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll confirm availability and requirements.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. Evening events in Felderland have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a 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

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Not every trader covers vegans. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Fast service from the pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food

Running a fête for a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul? A paella pan draws people in. If your event is in Ham Fen, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission; we’ll supply our paperwork. With the sea within about 4 miles, we plan shelter from the wind for coastal events, and seafood paella sells well by the sea.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
How we price festival paella catering
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Timings and hours
- Parking and unloading
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
