How our festival paella catering works in Leigh Park
Organisers can book us as a stall or as caterers for staff, crew, volunteers or VIP areas. Typical bookings include music and food festivals and crew, volunteer and VIP catering, serving chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella.
In Leigh Park, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. Paella does exactly that. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Trader information and site rules
- Room for our cooking and serving area

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Why choose live paella in Leigh Park?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. Evening events in Leigh Park have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
