Festival paella catering in Teynham
Festival paella catering for your event in Teynham
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. We’re often asked to cater crew, volunteer and VIP catering and sports club events, with giant-pan paella, vegan paella and seafood paella.
Around Teynham, a fête or summer fair suits a huge paella pan. Send us the pitch and access details. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
Is live paella right for your event?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why us?
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. Summer events in Teynham have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Plan cover in case of rain

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
