Festival paella catering in Pusey
Festival paella catering for your event in Pusey
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. On the menu are seafood paella, giant-pan paella and vegan paella, and we are regularly asked to cater music and food festivals and feeding crew and volunteers.
A fête near Pusey might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

How we price festival paella catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Guest numbers
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many courses
- Travel, parking and access
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of where we’d cook
Send us the date, your venue or SN7 postcode and guest numbers, plus any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just use our quote form.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What you get with us
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan

How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Pusey stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.

Running an event in Pusey
Pusey is about 6 miles north-west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. Events in Pusey are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and paella cooked live on the day. Pusey is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we cook. We cook right across the region, from Pusey to Oxford (12 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like Buckland Church of England Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
Events we cater in Pusey
It covers several diets with one trader.
These are some of the occasions we cater:
- Food and music festivals

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