Winterbrook questions
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Winterbrook from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What documents can you send?
Share your trader requirements and we will respond.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Winterbrook?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about your event, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Winterbrook stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

Paella compared with other options
Not every trader covers vegans. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
