Festival paella catering in Wraysbury, made fresh on the day
We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. On the menu are churros, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for agricultural and county shows and seasonal markets.
In Wraysbury, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. Paella does exactly that. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
- A pitch away from tents and structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. Summer events in Wraysbury have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Leave space around the cooking area

How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for 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.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
