Festival paella catering for your event in Kings Hill
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. On the menu are vegan paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for VIP and hospitality areas and open days.
For events in a place like Kings Hill, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A paella stall does that. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. Summer events in Kings Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
