What festival paella catering costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Guest numbers
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

Festival paella catering in Brogdale, cooked live
A paella stall covers several diets at once: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. We cook giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and churros, and we’re frequently booked for open days and community events and charity and school events.
Near Brogdale, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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 be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
