How our festival paella catering works in Rosehill
Organisers can book us as a stall or as caterers for staff, crew, volunteers or VIP areas. We’re often asked to cater food and music festivals and farmers’ and Christmas markets, serving churros, giant-pan paella and seafood paella.
In Rosehill, a paella pan suits street parties and school fairs, once permissions are sorted. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. 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.
Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.

Paella compared with other options
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Larger events usually cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Step by step
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Summer events in Rosehill 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.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Plan cover in case of rain
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
