Festival paella catering in Graveney, made fresh on the day
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. Popular choices include chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for food and music festivals and race days and sports events.
Rural events near Graveney can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Check allergen info is on display
- Schedule crew meals
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
Allergen information is available at the stall.

- Flat, firm ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, 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 is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. Summer events in Graveney have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Give us your final numbers and diets
