Festival paella catering for Howt Green events
Festival paella catering in Howt Green, made fresh on the day
Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Each portion takes seconds to serve. On the menu are seafood paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for county and country shows and christmas and farmers’ markets.
At a fête or field event near Howt Green, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Your trader pack and site rules
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Is live paella right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
