Live festival paella catering in Southcourt
How our festival paella catering works in Southcourt
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. Whether it’s crew, volunteer and VIP catering and sports clubs and race days, we’ll put together a menu of churros, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella and more.
In Southcourt, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. Paella does exactly that. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, never made in advance and reheated.

Southcourt: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Southcourt?
The closest is Aylesbury station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Check allergen info is on display
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
Why choose live paella in Southcourt?
Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
