How our festival paella catering works in Lambs Green
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. We cook seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella, and we are regularly asked to cater school and charity events and country shows.
Near Lambs Green, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

For event organisers in Lambs Green
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
