Festival paella catering in Twitham, made fresh on the day
Few street foods pull a crowd like a huge paella pan. People follow the smell, and service from the pan is fast. For community events and open days and country shows, we can cook vegan paella, churros and seafood paella.
At a fête or field event near Twitham, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. Evening events in Twitham have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

DIY paella versus live catering
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Why choose festival paella catering in Twitham?
It covers several diets with one trader, which saves pitches.
Big or small, live paella works well. Common bookings include:
- County and country shows
- Community events and open days
- Food and music festivals
- Farmers’ and Christmas markets
Running a fête for a church like Church of St James? A paella pan draws people in.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Plan seating near the food area
Allergen information is available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
