Dishes our guests love
Chicken & chorizo paella
A hearty, smoky pan.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is a festival favourite.
DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Before you choose a spot
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Tapas
- Giant paella pans
- Churros
- Vegan paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Seafood paella
What affects the price in Belbins
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
- Whether you need crockery
- Guest numbers
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Which courses you have in mind
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
Paella compared with other options
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

How it works

- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.

- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
