Festival paella catering in Marshborough, cooked live
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. On the menu are vegan paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for school fairs and fundraisers and festivals.
For a village fête or field event near Marshborough, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.
Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Marshborough stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
