Festival paella catering in Fewcott, made fresh on the day
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a giant paella. People follow the smell, and portions are served quickly from the pan. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and vegan paella, and we are regularly asked to cater farmers’ and Christmas markets and community events and open days.
Rural events near Fewcott can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Summer events in Fewcott have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
