Your questions about festival paella catering in Holyport
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Holyport?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Holyport close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Is the paella cooked on site?

What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
How soon do we need to book?

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
