Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. For an evening event in Madley Park, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.

Festival paella catering in Madley Park, made fresh on the day

In Madley Park, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Is live paella right for your event?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
