Festival paella catering in Beamond End
About our festival paella catering in Beamond End
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. We cook giant-pan paella, seafood paella and churros, and we are regularly asked to cater sports club events and festivals.
Rural events near Beamond End can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Timings and hours
- Guest numbers
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and time of the event
- The courses you’d like
- Expected numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Provide seating near the food
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.

How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
