Festival paella catering in Timsbury
Festival paella catering for your event in Timsbury
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and churros, and typical bookings are for christmas and farmers’ markets and village fêtes.
Rural events near Timsbury can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it is ready.
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.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What’s in the pans
Vegan paella
Vegans get a hot, filling dish.
Seafood paella
Prawns, mussels and squid.

Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything your venue supplies
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Is live paella right for your event?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
