Planning an event in Breach?
The process
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For an evening event in Breach, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Give us a contact for the day

FAQs for Breach
Is Breach too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook in Berengrave Chalk Pit?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What does festival paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
