Festival paella catering in Priestwood
Festival paella catering in Priestwood, made fresh on the day
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. Whether it is VIP and hospitality areas and community events and open days, we can cook vegan paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella.
Near Priestwood, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why Priestwood hosts choose us
- Events in Priestwood and across Kent
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Fast service from the pan
