About our festival paella catering in Weyhill
Crew meals are timed to your schedule, keeping your team fed. We cook chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and vegan paella, and typical bookings are for summer fairs and fêtes and sports club events.
At a fête or field event near Weyhill, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.
Live paella or other catering?
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so queues move quickly. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Fast service from the pan
- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Throwing a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Summer events in Weyhill have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
