Festival paella catering in Warnham, cooked live

A fête near Warnham might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Why choose live paella in Warnham?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, keeping queues short. Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Drinks service on request
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Catering across West Sussex, including Warnham

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Put all trader information in one pack
We set up at the agreed time.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
