How our festival paella catering works in Little Posbrook
The cooking is part of the show. People stop, watch and come back to eat. Popular choices include vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros, and we’re often booked for farmers’ and Christmas markets and summer fairs and fêtes.
At a fête or field event near Little Posbrook, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Summer events in Little Posbrook have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area
Getting a price
Send us the date, your venue or PO14 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just use our quote form.
