Festival paella catering for your event in Wellbrook
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. Whether it is farmers’ and Christmas markets and music and food festivals, we’ll put together a menu of churros, seafood paella and vegan paella.
Near Wellbrook, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Common questions in Wellbrook
Do you trade at school fairs around Wellbrook?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
