How our festival paella catering works in Twineham
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a huge paella. People follow the smell, and service from the pan is fast. Whether it is country shows and music and food festivals, we can cook giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella and more.
Near Twineham, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
