Festival paella catering for your event in Woolhampton
Crew meals are timed to your schedule, keeping your team fed. We are frequently asked to cater feeding crew and volunteers and sports clubs and race days, with seafood paella, churros and chicken and chorizo paella.
Rural events near Woolhampton can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We serve straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

The process
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For an evening event in Woolhampton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will suggest a split based on your guests.
