How our festival paella catering works in Mayford
The pans are part of the attraction. People stop, watch and come back to eat. For VIP and hospitality areas and county and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of churros, seafood paella and giant-pan paella.
Rural events near Mayford can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it’s ready.
