Festival paella catering in Kings Worthy, cooked live
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. We’re frequently asked to cater community events and open days and festivals, serving seafood paella, giant-pan paella and vegan paella.
For a village fête or field event near Kings Worthy, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
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 for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
