About our festival paella catering in Towersey
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. Whether it’s sports club events and farmers’ and Christmas markets, we’ll put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella and more.
Rural events near Towersey can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

What affects the price in Towersey
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Your choice of paellas
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What happens on the day
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. For an evening event in Towersey, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
