Book festival paella catering in Preston Bissett
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Preston Bissett stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We regularly cater:

For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola.

- Plates, cutlery and napkins, or disposables
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- How late numbers can change
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Why book with us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available

Preston Bissett: your questions answered
Is Preston Bissett too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Preston Bissett close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cater in Preston Bissett?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Preston Bissett is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Will there be long queues?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.

We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
