Festival paella catering for Redhill events
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Festival paella catering for your event in Redhill
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. People follow the smell, and portions are served quickly from the pan. On the menu are churros, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella, and we’re often booked for village fêtes and summer fairs and music and food festivals.
A town like Redhill has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. A paella stall suits all of them. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- Trader information and site rules
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we offer
- Seafood paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Giant paella pans
- Churros
- Tapas

For event organisers in Redhill
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Check allergen info is on display
- Book crew catering in advance
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check how many portions traders can serve
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe throughout the day.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
Redhill questions
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Redhill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could we have live paella in Nutfield Marshes?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
What does festival paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you need power?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.

The process
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Redhill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
