Festival paella catering in The Village, made fresh on the day
Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Each portion takes seconds to serve. Whether it’s feeding crew and volunteers and festivals, we can cook vegan paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
Near The Village, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.

DIY paella versus live catering
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
