About our festival paella catering in Wash Water
Big batches mean lunchtime rushes are easy. Each portion takes seconds to serve. We’re frequently asked to cater county and country shows and sports clubs and race days, with vegan paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella.
Rural events near Wash Water can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening events in Wash Water have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
