Festival paella catering in Skittle Green, cooked live
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and service from the pan is fast. For school and charity events and summer fairs and fêtes, we will put together a menu of churros, giant-pan paella and vegan paella for your guests.
At a field event near Skittle Green, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book 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.
Working with your venue
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we’ll let you know if live paella is a good fit.
How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Summer events in Skittle Green have daylight until about 9:25pm 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.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
