About our festival paella catering in Mullenspond
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. For crew, volunteer and VIP catering and music and food festivals, we can cook giant-pan paella, churros and seafood paella for your guests.
For a village fête or field event near Mullenspond, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. At midsummer, events in Mullenspond stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.

Questions from Mullenspond
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Mullenspond?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Mullenspond too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you need power?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need.
