How our festival paella catering works in Monks Risborough
The pans are part of the attraction. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. For crew, volunteer and VIP catering and village fêtes, we can cook churros, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella for your guests.
A fête near Monks Risborough might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.
