About our festival paella catering in Norney
The pans are part of the attraction. People stop, watch and come back to eat. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella, and typical bookings are for open days and christmas and farmers’ markets.
For a village fête or field event near Norney, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Paella compared with other options
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, keeping queues short. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
