About our festival paella catering in Lingfield Common
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. We’re often asked to cater race days and sports events and christmas and farmers’ markets, serving seafood paella, vegan paella and churros.
At a field event near Lingfield Common, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated.
What affects the price in Lingfield Common

- Your choice of paellas
- Starters, canapés and desserts

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Paella compared with other options
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.

How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Lingfield Common stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
