How our festival paella catering works in Wokingham
We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, from arrival times to waste. Typical bookings include summer fairs and fêtes and school and charity events, serving giant-pan paella, seafood paella and vegan paella.
Large events in Wokingham can draw big crowds, so serving speed matters; paella is served straight from the pan. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated, and served as soon as it’s ready.

What else we do in Wokingham
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. Summer events in Wokingham 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.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Check allergen info is on display
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Check how many portions traders can serve
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
