Festival paella catering in Whitton, cooked live
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Each portion takes seconds to serve. We cook giant-pan paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and typical bookings are for race days and sports events and music and food festivals.
Street parties and school fairs in Whitton are a great fit for a paella stall, as long as the road closure or site permission is in place. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: 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. For an evening event in Whitton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we’ll 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.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
