Festival paella catering in Middlegreen, cooked live
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. We are frequently asked to cater school fairs and fundraisers and agricultural and county shows, with churros, seafood paella and giant-pan paella.
Rural events near Middlegreen can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.
About the dishes
Vegan paella
A proper vegan main, in its own pan.
Giant paella pans
Huge pans of golden rice, cooking in full view.

Paella compared with other options
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why Middlegreen hosts choose us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Real theatre, not just catering

Organising for someone else?

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. Summer events in Middlegreen have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
