Festival paella catering in Mundaydean Bottom
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Festival paella catering for your event in Mundaydean Bottom
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. Typical bookings include VIP and hospitality areas and school fairs and fundraisers, with giant-pan paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Near Mundaydean Bottom, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

How the day works
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Summer events in Mundaydean Bottom have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

Planning for every diet
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Provide seating near the food
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Put all trader information in one pack
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
