Festival paella catering in Sutton Wick
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Check allergen info is on display
- Provide seating near the food
- Give traders a single information pack
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
About our festival paella catering in Sutton Wick
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. For christmas and farmers’ markets and village fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella and more.
Rural events near Sutton Wick can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan.

The process
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Sutton Wick have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Name one person we can ask on the day
