How our festival paella catering works in Maltman's Hill
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. We cook seafood paella, churros and vegan paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater school and charity events and race days and sports events.
A fête near Maltman's Hill might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
How it works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Summer events in Maltman's Hill have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Tell us where to park and unload
