How our festival paella catering works in Winchfield Hurst

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Put picnic tables near the traders
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
