Festival paella catering in Stuckton, cooked live
Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Each portion takes seconds to serve. Typical bookings include sports clubs and race days and village fêtes, serving seafood paella, giant-pan paella and vegan paella.
A fête near Stuckton might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and service is quick once it is ready.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Put picnic tables near the traders
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Larger pans for peak times.

Questions from Stuckton
Is Stuckton too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cook inside?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Absolutely. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cover Stuckton?
Yes, we do. Stuckton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening events in Stuckton have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
