How our festival paella catering works in Brambridge
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. Whether it is farmers’ and Christmas markets and open days and community events, we can cook seafood paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella and more.
Rural events near Brambridge can be a long way from food outlets, so a paella stall is a welcome sight. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many courses
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Timings and hours
- Parking and unloading
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Expected numbers
- Your date and when you want to eat
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We will come back with a clear quote and a suggested menu.
How it works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. For an evening event in Brambridge, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and diets
- Share the running order, including any speeches
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
