Festival paella catering near Nyewood
About our festival paella catering in Nyewood
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. Whether it is farmers’ and Christmas markets and open days, we’ll put together a menu of giant-pan paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
A fête near Nyewood might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Live paella or other catering?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, keeping queues short. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
