Catering in Murcia: rice and fiestas

A peña (social club) planning its lunch, a First Communion or a company get-together: they all need more than just a menu. For your catering in Murcia, Xepep can cook the rice dishes wherever you’re celebrating and take care of whatever service you need.

Our team sets off from our kitchen in Aspe. We take requests from Murcia and the rest of the Region of Murcia for group events, planning the travel alongside the cooking, the set-up and the timings.

Peñas, barracas and fiesta days

If your peña needs a kitchen and a bar in a marquee, we can plan both sides of the service. We keep track of orders with QR ordering, and we organise the shifts with your peña.

Spring and September are packed with local fiestas in Murcia. Use these dates as a starting point for your request: each programme sets the exact times.

Rice dishes to share and company catering

Paella for events in Murcia. We turn up with the ingredients, a cook and paella pans to cook the meal in front of your group. We can set up the cooking for 40 or for 500 guests (we have kit for 500).

Companies. A team lunch, a coffee break or a presentation can each need a different set-up. We plan the cooking and front-of-house service around your event’s timetable.

First Communions and other celebrations. We cook for christenings, birthdays and family get-togethers. You can choose disposable tableware or ask for crockery, tables and staff.

Spring Fiestas

Barracas and peñas huertanas: the Spring lunch

During the Spring Fiestas, the barracas (fiesta huts) of the peñas huertanas (traditional huerta clubs) fill gardens and neighbourhoods with traditional cooking. Rice with rabbit and vegetables is part of the spread that brings the peña together.

If you’d like us to cater the members’ lunch, we bring the kit and cook the rice right there, so you can all enjoy the day together. We can add service or a bar in a marquee if your celebration needs it.

To prepare your proposal, it helps to know the day, the size of the group and the space available for cooking. We plan our part of the service with your peña, whether it’s one meal or several days.

From Murcia to Cartagena and Lorca

We get requests for Murcia city, Molina de Segura, Alcantarilla, Beniel and Santomera. We also get enquiries for catering in Cartagena and Lorca, as well as events in Totana and Cieza.

With your event’s address, we plan access and the kit that will travel. Across the Region of Murcia, our service is catering for celebrations; daily delivery is limited to our local area.

What we handle and what you provide

If you keep your own set-up, Xepep can just do the cooking. When you need more, we can add plating or round off the meal with appetisers, drinks and dessert.

The quote shows what staff, tableware and set-up are included. We check with you where cooking is permitted and how the service will be sheltered if it rains.

To choose your service, visit Events and catering. If the venue changes, see Albacete, Elche or Aspe and the Vinalopó.

How travel to Murcia is organised

The team leaves Aspe with paella pans, burners and ingredients. The venue address sets the travel plan, access and kit. Travel appears in the proposal.

For Spring peñas or the September Fair, it helps to lock in dates early. For a First Communion or a company lunch, with the date, the place and the number of guests we start organising cooking and service.

More rice formats: paellas and show cooking and giant paella for fiestas and events.

How to book catering in the Murcia region

Live rice cooking lets you book just the kitchen for a gathering you’re already planning. We work from our own kitchen, and fit what we do around whatever the peña, the family or the company has already organised.

The date, the venue and the number of people give us our starting point. We help you choose between a paella, a full meal or cooking with a bar, depending on your celebration.

If the fiesta runs over several days, we plan the service across the programme with you. The group’s allergies and diets also go into your proposal, which includes travel.
