Festival paella catering in Littleton, made fresh on the day
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. Typical bookings include sports club events and festivals, with seafood paella, vegan paella and churros.
Near Littleton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Step by step
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Littleton stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
