What happens on the day
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Summer events in Bisham have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Preparing for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely

How we price festival paella catering
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, use our quote form.
