About our festival paella catering in Holly Green
The cooking is part of the show. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. Popular choices include churros, giant-pan paella and vegan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater agricultural and county shows and sports club events.
A fête near Holly Green might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Is live paella right for your event?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

DIY paella versus live catering

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
