Festival paella catering in West Bedfont, cooked live
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. Whether it is VIP and hospitality areas and christmas and farmers’ markets, we’ll put together a menu of vegan paella, seafood paella and churros for your guests.
At a field event near West Bedfont, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so the whole menu comes from one caterer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
