About our festival paella catering in Pagham
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. We are frequently asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and charity and school events, with seafood paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella.
A fête near Pagham might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

What festival paella catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Travel, parking and access
- The paellas you choose
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Timings and hours
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- The address or venue name
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, use our quote form.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Provide seating near the food
- Give traders a single information pack
- Check how many portions traders can serve
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Larger pans for peak times.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Paella compared with other options
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
