How our festival paella catering works in Granborough

The cooking is part of the show. People stop, watch and come back to eat. Popular choices include giant-pan paella, seafood paella and churros, and typical bookings are for school and charity events and sports clubs and race days.

Near Granborough, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

The process

When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Summer events in Granborough have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

  1. First, we check the dates.
  2. We agree menu and pitch.
  3. We set up our burners and pans.
  4. The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
  5. We serve, then pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY paella versus live catering

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Why choose live paella in Granborough?

For a stall that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
