Festival paella catering in Fox, made fresh on the day
We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. We cook vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and fundraisers.
Rural events near Fox can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

Do you trade at school fairs around Fox?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
