How our festival paella catering works in Ivychurch
We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. Whether it is crew, volunteer and VIP catering and sports club events, we will put together a menu of seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella and more.
Rural events near Ivychurch can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.
Paella compared with other options
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Step by step
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. At midsummer, events in Ivychurch stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
How to get a price
