Festival paella catering in North Warnborough
About our festival paella catering in North Warnborough
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. Whether it is race days and sports events and food and music festivals, we will put together a menu of seafood paella, giant-pan paella and churros.
Near North Warnborough, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Is live paella right for your event?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
North Warnborough: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like North Warnborough?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is North Warnborough from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Planning the cooking area
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Firm, level ground
- A pitch away from tents and structures
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. Evening events in North Warnborough have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
