Festival paella catering in Three Leg Cross, made fresh on the day

We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. We cook giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros, and we’re regularly asked to cater VIP and hospitality areas and agricultural and county shows.

At a field event near Three Leg Cross, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.

For event organisers in Three Leg Cross

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

Diets, allergies and planning

Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Send traders one clear trader pack
  • Check allergen info is on display
  • Put picnic tables near the traders
  • Schedule crew meals

We keep our pitch tidy and safe.

The process

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. Summer events in Three Leg Cross have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
  2. We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
  3. We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
  4. We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
  5. At the end, we clear our pitch.

Before we arrive

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Choose a level spot for the cooking area

Paella compared with other options

Food that sits in a hot cabinet is not much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

What festival paella catering costs

Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • How long we’re needed on site
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood

Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
