Festival paella catering in Styants Bottom, made fresh on the day
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. Whether it’s sports club events and seasonal markets, we’ll put together a menu of vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros.
For a village fête or field event near Styants Bottom, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Styants Bottom: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Styants Bottom?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cook in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What documents can you send?
Share your trader requirements.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
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.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will check availability.

We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
