Festival paella catering near Rowsham
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. A huge pan cooking in view sells itself. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.

Festival paella catering in Rowsham, cooked live
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. For seasonal markets and charity and school events, we will put together a menu of churros, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella.
Rural events near Rowsham can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated, and served the moment it’s ready.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Summer events in Rowsham have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
