Festival paella catering for Windlesham events
Festival paella catering in Windlesham, cooked live
We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. For farmers’ and Christmas markets and race days and sports events, we can cook churros, vegan paella and seafood paella.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Windlesham are made for a paella stall. Send us the pitch and access details. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Travel, parking and access
- How long we’re needed on site
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What you get with us
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

Bagshot station, about 1.4 miles west of the centre.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Windlesham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you feed our volunteers?
We can. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Can you cook indoors?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you do desserts?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Space, weather and the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- A level pitch on firm ground
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Access for unloading at set-up
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Windlesham stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
