Festival paella catering for your event in Wytham
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. On the menu are chicken and chorizo paella, giant-pan paella and churros, and typical bookings are for community events and open days and school and charity events.
Rural events near Wytham can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
