Festival paella catering in Lake End, cooked live
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. We’re often asked to cater community events and open days and christmas and farmers’ markets, with giant-pan paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Rural events near Lake End can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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’ll do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
