How our festival paella catering works in Newchurch
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. Typical bookings include charity and school events and christmas and farmers’ markets, with seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros.
At a field event near Newchurch, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Space, weather and the venue
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
For somewhere as remote as Newchurch, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. At midsummer, events in Newchurch stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
