About our festival paella catering in Jevington
We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. On the menu are churros, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports club events and seasonal markets.
Near Jevington, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Where we can cook in Jevington
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
