Book festival paella catering in Moor Street
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
How our festival paella catering works in Moor Street
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. Popular choices include vegan paella, churros and seafood paella, and we are often booked for school and charity events and food and music festivals.
At a fête or field event near Moor Street, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Summer events in Moor Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
