Festival paella catering in Selham, cooked live
We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, from arrival times to waste. We cook churros, seafood paella and giant-pan paella, and we are regularly asked to cater music and food festivals and race days and sports events.
Rural events near Selham can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
What affects the price in Selham
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Your choice of paellas
- Guest numbers
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Your date and when you want to eat

Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Book crew catering in advance
We cook in full view of visitors, serving throughout the event.
Catering for crew and VIP areas.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm, level ground
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

- Giant paella pans
- Chicken & chorizo paella

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. Evening events in Selham have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
