About our festival paella catering in Lyne
Crew and volunteer catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. We are frequently asked to cater seasonal markets and charity and school events, with chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and vegan paella.
Rural events near Lyne can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Book crew catering in advance
- Provide seating near the food
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

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’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Is live paella right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why book with us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
