Live festival paella catering in Pitch Place
Festival paella catering in Pitch Place, made fresh on the day
The pans are part of the attraction. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. We cook seafood paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella, and we are regularly asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and school fairs and fundraisers.
For a village fête or field event near Pitch Place, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Burger stalls are common. A paella pan stands out in a food line-up. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Why Pitch Place hosts choose us
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Drinks service on request

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
