For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola. School fairs, for a school like Ashington CofE Primary School, are a natural fit for a paella stall.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Warminghurst
How far is Warminghurst from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you have the documents we need?
Send your requirements and we will include them with our application.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Why choose live paella in Warminghurst?
Burger stalls are common. A paella pan stands out. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
