- The paellas you choose
- Whether you need crockery
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Guest numbers
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The address or venue name

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Book crew catering in advance
Our pitch is kept tidy and safe.
Crew, volunteer and VIP catering.
How the day works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Ashley Green stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Share the running order, including any speeches
