Paella in a bowl is perfect festival food, standing up or sitting on the grass. Typical bookings include school and charity events and music and food festivals, with vegan paella, seafood paella and churros.
A fête near Walter's Green might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell usually draws people over. Evening events in Walter's Green 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.

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Provide seating near the food
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check how many portions traders can serve
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
