Festival paella catering in Stubbings
How our festival paella catering works in Stubbings
Paella in a bowl is perfect festival food, standing up or sitting on the grass. For village fêtes and summer fairs and agricultural and county shows, we can cook seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella.
Rural events near Stubbings can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Book crew catering in advance
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Larger pans for peak times.
For event organisers in Stubbings
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
The process
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. Summer events in Stubbings have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Have a level space ready for the pans
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
