Festival paella catering near Lye Green
Festival paella catering in Lye Green, made fresh on the day
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. On the menu are giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros, and we are regularly asked to cater seasonal markets and sports club events.
Rural events near Lye Green can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Common questions in Lye Green
Is Lye Green too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
