About our festival paella catering in Rose Hill

Near Rose Hill, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
A crowd-pleaser for meat eaters.
Vegan paella
Vegans get a hot, filling dish.
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

Rose Hill questions
Could we have live paella in Cocksherd Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What’s the nearest station to Rose Hill for guests?
Taplow station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
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.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you need water?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Is live paella right for your event?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Paella adds something different in a food line-up. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, events in Rose Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
