How our festival paella catering works in Taplow
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. Typical bookings include country shows and food and music festivals, serving vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
Rural events near Taplow can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. You’ll know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose, with no surprises on the day.

Is live paella right for your event?

Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For an evening event in Taplow, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
