Questions from Brimpton
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Brimpton?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
How far is Brimpton from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes, always. There’s a vegan pan next to the others.
Will there be long queues?
Service from the pan is fast, which suits busy periods.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Brimpton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Brimpton is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. There’s 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.
What you get with us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Cooking your guests will gather round to watch

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Plan seating near the food area
- Check allergen info is on display
We set up at the agreed time, following your trader pack.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.

What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many courses
- How many guests are eating
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The courses you’d like
- The date and rough timings
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
