How we price festival paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many guests are eating
- How long we are needed on site
- Travel, parking and access
- Starters, canapés and desserts

Questions from Bagnum
Do you come out to small places like Bagnum?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Paella compared with other options
For a stall that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.
