Festival paella catering in Sinkhurst Green, cooked live
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a huge paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and service from the pan is fast. We are frequently asked to cater race days and sports events and village fêtes, serving vegan paella, churros and seafood paella.
Rural events near Sinkhurst Green can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check allergen info is on display
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Provide seating near the food
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
Catering for crew and VIP areas.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
