Festival paella catering in Micheldever Station, made fresh on the day
Organisers can book us as a stall or as caterers for staff, crew, volunteers or VIP areas. Whether it’s farmers’ and Christmas markets and village fêtes, we can cook churros, vegan paella and seafood paella and more.
A fête near Micheldever Station might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
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.
The process
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening event in Micheldever Station, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Give us a contact for the day
