Live festival paella catering in Phoenix Green
The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Phoenix Green stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

Festival paella catering in Phoenix Green, cooked live
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and service from the pan is fast. We’re frequently asked to cater village fêtes and country shows, with giant-pan paella, vegan paella and churros.
For a village fête or field event near Phoenix Green, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Live paella or other catering?
