Festival paella catering in Kingham
Festival paella catering in Kingham, cooked live
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. On the menu are vegan paella, giant-pan paella and churros, and typical bookings are for music and food festivals and country shows.
For a village fête or field event near Kingham, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
What festival paella catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- How many staff you need
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- How many guests are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What the venue already provides
- Which courses you have in mind
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Is live paella right for your event?
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
Dietary needs and planning tips
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Ensure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.

How it works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. At midsummer, events in Kingham stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
