Brill: your questions answered
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Brill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Brill too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
What does festival paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Festival paella catering in Brill, cooked live
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. We cook giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella, and typical bookings are for food and music festivals and village fêtes and summer fairs.
Rural events near Brill can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Timings are planned around your event, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.

What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. For an evening event in Brill, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in front of the crowd and serve from the pan all event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
What festival paella catering costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of people
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Where the event is
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
Send us the date, your venue or HP18 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you’ll get a menu idea and a price. Just fill in our quote form.
