Festival paella catering in Hill End
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, 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 is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Festival paella catering in Hill End, made fresh on the day
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, from arrival times to waste. Whether it is race days and sports events and open days and community events, we’ll put together a menu of giant-pan paella, vegan paella and churros and more.
Rural events near Hill End can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.

How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. For an evening event in Hill End, 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Tell us when you want to eat
