For event organisers in Worlds End

Festival paella catering for your event in Worlds End
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. We cook vegan paella, seafood paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are regularly asked to cater feeding crew and volunteers and seasonal markets.
A fête near Worlds End might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.
Catering for every guest
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
We keep our pitch tidy and safe.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Paella adds something different. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.

What affects the price in Worlds End
These are the factors that matter most:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many guests are eating
- Parking and unloading

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it’s served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Summer events in Worlds End have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
