How our festival paella catering works in Winkfield
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. Typical bookings include sports club events and feeding crew and volunteers, with churros, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella.
A fête near Winkfield might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

How it works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Summer events in Winkfield have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Tell us where to park and unload
