Festival paella catering for your event in Tisman's Common
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. Popular choices include churros, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella, and we are often booked for school and charity events and open days and community events.
For a village fête or field event near Tisman's Common, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it is ready.

The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook. Summer events in Tisman's Common have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Check how many portions traders can serve
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.

Live paella or other catering?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
