Giant Pan Catering in Barnstaple
Giant pan catering in Barnstaple is paella, curry or chilli cooked live in a one-metre pan in front of your guests, so the cooking is part of the event. Our cook team works the pan on site through service and guests help themselves from the station, which suits festivals, weddings and street-food style gatherings. Prices start from £12.25pp including VAT, and cover the food, the equipment and the setup. The cook team is included in that price, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options carry no surcharge. We travel to Barnstaple from our Redruth kitchen, about 2 hours away, and cover it regularly. On site we need a level space of roughly three by six metres and vehicle access — nothing else, no kitchen and no power. Serving usually runs to around ninety minutes, and we agree the timings with you well before the day itself.
