What festival paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of people
- How many courses
- Waiting and bar staff
- Whether you need crockery
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The courses you’d like
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Where the event is
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. Summer events in Bampton have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Schedule crew meals
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
Allergen details are available at the stall.
