How our festival paella catering works in Pamber Green
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and seafood paella, and we are frequently booked for school and charity events and county and country shows.
Rural events near Pamber Green can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.

- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Pamber Green, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

How the day works

Summer events in Pamber Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
