Festival paella catering for your event in Westley
The pans are part of the attraction. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. For sports club events and summer fairs and fêtes, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and vegan paella.
At a fête or field event near Westley, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Paella compared with other options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What you get with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
