Festival paella catering for your event in Westcot
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a giant paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. We are frequently asked to cater country shows and festivals, with vegan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
Near Westcot, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Westcot questions

About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Westcot?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you have the documents we need?
Send your requirements and we’ll include them with our application.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
