How our festival paella catering works in Postcombe
Crew and volunteer catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. For village fêtes and summer fairs and county and country shows, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and vegan paella for your guests.
Rural events near Postcombe can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

Postcombe: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Postcombe?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Postcombe from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
- The length of service
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Paella compared with other options

What you get with us
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- A quote that spells everything out
- Waiting staff and crockery on request

The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
Seafood paella is always popular.
Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice, cooking in full view.
How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. At midsummer, events in Postcombe stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
