How our festival paella catering works in West Farleigh
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. On the menu are churros, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for christmas and farmers’ markets and race days and sports events.
For a village fête or field event near West Farleigh, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
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.
