How our festival paella catering works in Little Hungerford
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. We are often asked to cater feeding crew and volunteers and festivals, with chicken and chorizo paella, churros and vegan paella.
At a fête or field event near Little Hungerford, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Do you cater for young children?

Is live paella right for your event?
Burger stalls are common. Paella adds something different in a food line-up. Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

About the dishes

A proper vegan main, in its own pan.
Giant paella pans

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. 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.
