How our festival paella catering works in Twitton
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list in and around Twitton. We are often asked to cater race days and sports events and open days, serving vegan paella, seafood paella and churros.
At a fête or field event near Twitton, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Evening events in Twitton have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Leave space around the cooking area

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
