About our festival paella catering in Radfield
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list. For sports club events and open days, we will put together a menu of giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros and more.
Near Radfield, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.

What does festival paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
