How our festival paella catering works in Huntercombe
Paella in a bowl is perfect festival food, standing up or sitting on the grass. Popular choices include giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella, and typical bookings are for open days and county and country shows.
Events near Huntercombe are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-sufficient trader makes life easier. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.
