Festival paella catering in Stone Street, made fresh on the day
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. People follow the smell, and service from the pan is fast. We’re frequently asked to cater open days and community events and seasonal markets, with chicken and chorizo paella, churros and seafood paella.
For a village fête or field event near Stone Street, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

How it works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. For an evening event in Stone Street, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.

- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
