How our festival paella catering works in Kettle Corner
Organisers can book us as a stall or as caterers for staff, crew, volunteers or VIP areas. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and churros, and typical bookings are for school fairs and fundraisers and christmas and farmers’ markets.
Rural events near Kettle Corner can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Provide seating near the food
- Book crew catering in advance
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
