Your questions about festival paella catering in Redenham
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Redenham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Redenham for guests?
Andover station, about 4 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Will there be long queues?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
How many different paellas?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Step by step
