Festival paella catering in Nork, cooked live
Crew meals are timed to your schedule, keeping your team fed. On the menu are giant-pan paella, vegan paella and seafood paella, and we are regularly asked to cater seasonal markets and open days.
In Nork, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
The menu, dish by dish
Chicken & chorizo paella
A hearty, smoky pan.
Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice, cooking in full view.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Book crew catering in advance
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Larger pans for peak times.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down

How it works

Summer events in Nork have daylight until about 9:20pm 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.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Nork? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
