About our festival paella catering in Holme Green
Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Portions are served in seconds. On the menu are churros, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are often booked for food and music festivals and open days and community events.
Rural events near Holme Green can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Book crew catering in advance
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. At midsummer, events in Holme Green stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.

Do you come out to small places like Holme Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.

Can you trade at our festival or fair?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
