DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
About our festival paella catering in Glebe Farm
The pans are part of the attraction. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. We’re often asked to cater crew, volunteer and VIP catering and sports club events, with chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and churros.
Around Glebe Farm, a fête or summer fair suits a giant paella pan. Send us the pitch and access details. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Step by step
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. For an evening event in Glebe Farm, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
