Live festival paella catering in Pyrford Green
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Festival paella catering in Pyrford Green, cooked live
Paella in a bowl is perfect festival food, on the move or on a picnic rug. For charity and school events and open days, we can cook churros, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
Rural events near Pyrford Green can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. Summer events in Pyrford Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Check the venue allows live cooking
