Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Adversane stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot

What affects the price in Adversane
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Timings and hours
Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Anything your venue supplies
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Paella compared with other options
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
