About our festival paella catering in Totton
Crew meals are timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, churros and seafood paella, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and sports clubs and race days.
In Totton, schools, clubs and churches frequently run summer events. A paella stall suits all of them. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Space, weather and the venue
If a space isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Your trader pack and site rules
- A level pitch on firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Totton have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
