How our festival paella catering works in Midgham Green
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. We cook churros, giant-pan paella and vegan paella, and we are often booked for open days and village fêtes and summer fairs.
For a village fête or field event near Midgham Green, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
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.

How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, events in Midgham Green stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Your questions about festival paella catering in Midgham Green
Is Midgham Green too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which station should guests use for Midgham Green?
Midgham station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Occasions we cook for in Midgham Green
It works at small fêtes and big festivals.
Big or small, live paella works well. Typical bookings include:
- Farmers’ and Christmas markets

Why choose live paella in Midgham Green?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Sangria and bar staff available
- A clear, itemised quote
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
