How our festival paella catering works in Mill Corner
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. We’re often asked to cater seasonal markets and country shows, with giant-pan paella, seafood paella and churros.
Rural events near Mill Corner can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.

Every event is quoted individually, based on what you actually want. Tell us your date and numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.

What affects the price in Mill Corner
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The address or venue name

What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. Summer events in Mill Corner have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
