Festival paella catering for Woodgreen events
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

The pans are part of the attraction. Visitors stop to watch, take photos and come back for lunch. We cook giant-pan paella, seafood paella and vegan paella, and we are frequently booked for village fêtes and country shows.
At a fête or field event near Woodgreen, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s speeches, a lunch break or a festival schedule.
