Book festival paella catering in Kevington
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Agree waste arrangements with traders

- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event

Live paella or other catering?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. For an evening event in Kevington, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
