About our festival paella catering in Loxhill
Paella in a bowl is perfect festival food, standing up or sitting on the grass. On the menu are vegan paella, churros and seafood paella, and we are often booked for school fairs and fundraisers and christmas and farmers’ markets.
At a fête or field event near Loxhill, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
Seafood paella is always popular.
Giant paella pans
The huge pan is the star.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Planning the cooking area
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We look for:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Room for our cooking and serving area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we offer
- Seafood paella
- Vegan paella

How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. For an evening event in Loxhill, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
