Giant Pan Catering in Padstow
Giant pan catering in Padstow 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 Padstow from our Redruth kitchen, about 40 minutes 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.
Padstow: Padstow's reputation as a food destination means event guests often have high expectations -- our freshly prepared catering holds up well in this company.
Popular events around Padstow include food festival events, harbour-side weddings, and holiday home catering. We cover Padstow and the area around Padstow Harbour, Camel Trail, and Prideaux Place.
