How our festival paella catering works in Horn Hill
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. Popular choices include giant-pan paella, churros and vegan paella, and we are often booked for music and food festivals and seasonal markets.
Near Horn Hill, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Horn Hill 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, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
