Festival paella catering in Fisher's Pond
Why choose live paella in Fisher's Pond?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.

Festival paella catering for your event in Fisher's Pond
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. Whether it is sports club events and festivals, we can cook giant-pan paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella for your guests.
Rural events near Fisher's Pond can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated, and served the moment it is ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. Summer events in Fisher's Pond have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
