Festival paella catering in Warsash, made fresh on the day
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. We’re often asked to cater open days and christmas and farmers’ markets, serving vegan paella, seafood paella and churros.
In Warsash, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To make it work smoothly:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
Larger pans for peak times.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. Summer events in Warsash have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
