Festival paella catering in Stone, made fresh on the day

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Check allergen info is on display
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Book crew catering in advance
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- The event’s site rules and timings

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For an evening event in Stone, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.

- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
