About our festival paella catering in Tonge Corner
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. People follow the smell, and service from the pan is fast. For race days and sports events and school fairs and fundraisers, we can cook seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella and more.
Rural events near Tonge Corner can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Questions from Tonge Corner
Do you come out to small places like Tonge Corner?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Can vegans eat at your stall?
Yes. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How we price festival paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- How many guests are eating
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The courses you’d like
- Where the event is
- A picture of where we’d cook
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Schedule crew meals
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
We clear the pitch and leave it as we found it.
