Festival paella catering near Hawthorn Hill
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Festival paella catering for your event in Hawthorn Hill
Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Each portion takes seconds to serve. We’re frequently asked to cater crew, volunteer and VIP catering and country shows, with seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros.
Rural events near Hawthorn Hill can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

How we price festival paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

- The length of service
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
