Festival paella catering for your event in Tiddington
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. Typical bookings include school and charity events and festivals, with vegan paella, churros and seafood paella.
At a field event near Tiddington, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
