How our festival paella catering works in Flishinghurst
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. People follow the smell, and service from the pan is fast. We cook giant-pan paella, seafood paella and churros, and typical bookings are for county and country shows and sports clubs and race days.
At a field event near Flishinghurst, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
