About our festival paella catering in Potters Corner
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. Whether it’s village fêtes and crew, volunteer and VIP catering, we will put together a menu of seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella.
For a village fête or field event near Potters Corner, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
Popular with families.
Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice.
Questions from Potters Corner
What’s the nearest station to Potters Corner for guests?
Ashford International station, about 2.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Potters Corner too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you cater for young children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
What do you need at the pitch?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need.
How it works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. Evening events in Potters Corner have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
