About our festival paella catering in Titchfield Common
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, from arrival times to waste. We’re often asked to cater crew, volunteer and VIP catering and christmas and farmers’ markets, serving churros, giant-pan paella and vegan paella.
Summer fairs around Titchfield Common are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything and needs little help is a bonus. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
What affects the price in Titchfield Common
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, parking and access
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- What the venue already provides
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
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’ll do the cooking.
What we need at the venue
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Trader information and site rules
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Clear information on power, water and waste
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Titchfield Common: your questions answered

Can you run a stall at a school fair in Titchfield Common?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.

It is one of the quickest hot foods to serve, which suits busy periods.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about your event, and we will confirm availability and requirements.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Fast service from the pan
