Live festival paella catering in Stonymarsh
How our festival paella catering works in Stonymarsh
Crew meals are timed to your schedule, keeping your team fed. We are often asked to cater agricultural and county shows and feeding crew and volunteers, serving chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and churros.
Near Stonymarsh, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
- What the venue already provides
- The courses you’d like
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Stonymarsh questions
Do you come out to small places like Stonymarsh?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Stonymarsh from London?
About 69 miles from central London.
How quickly can you serve?
It’s one of the quickest hot foods to serve, which suits busy periods.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Stonymarsh stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.

Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Schedule crew meals
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Send traders one clear trader pack
Pans cook in full view, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Is live paella right for your event?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
