Live festival paella catering in Winslow
How our festival paella catering works in Winslow
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That makes life easier for organisers. Whether it is crew, volunteer and VIP catering and school and charity events, we’ll put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
For events in a place like Winslow, one hot-food trader that suits most diets makes life easy. A paella stall does that. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
