Festival paella catering in Tubney, made fresh on the day
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. Typical bookings include charity and school events and VIP and hospitality areas, serving vegan paella, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
Near Tubney, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
The process
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Summer events in Tubney have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Make sure we can park close by to unload
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
