About our festival paella catering in Wanborough
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a giant paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. We’re often asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and school and charity events, with chicken and chorizo paella, seafood paella and vegan paella.
At a field event near Wanborough, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Everything is cooked from scratch at your event, not reheated.
What happens on the day
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For an evening event in Wanborough, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
