Festival paella catering for your event in Kippington
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. We cook giant-pan paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re often booked for charity and school events and sports clubs and race days.
For events in a place like Kippington, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A paella stall does that. You will know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
