Paella compared with other options

Your questions about festival paella catering in Little Coxwell
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Little Coxwell?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is Little Coxwell close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
Do you need water?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Do you have the documents we need?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send it with our application.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Expected numbers
Send us the date, your venue or SN7 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we will reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. At midsummer, events in Little Coxwell stay light until about 9:30pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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 pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
