What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

About our festival paella catering in Broad Oak
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a giant paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and service from the pan is fast. On the menu are churros, giant-pan paella and vegan paella, and we’re frequently booked for agricultural and county shows and race days and sports events.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Broad Oak stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Share the running order, including any speeches

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
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.

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Provide seating near the food
- Ask about peak-time capacity
Pans cook in full view, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
