Festival paella catering for Bramley events
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. Summer events in Bramley have daylight until about 9:25pm 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.
- We check your dates.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.
Vegan paella alongside the rest.
Why choose live paella in Bramley?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot paella keeps crew going. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

What festival paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many staff you need
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
