About our festival paella catering in Slough
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list in and around Slough. Popular choices include churros, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are regularly asked to cater feeding crew and volunteers and open days.
For events in Slough, a paella stall adds theatre and covers several diets. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served the moment it is ready.
Slough: your questions answered
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Slough?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could we have live paella in Herschel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How quickly can you serve?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it is worth asking.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
