Festival paella catering in Stonestreet Green, cooked live
We cook at festivals, fairs, markets, school and charity events, sports days and open days in and around Stonestreet Green. Typical bookings include seasonal markets and race days and sports events, with vegan paella, giant-pan paella and churros.
Rural events near Stonestreet Green can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
