What festival paella catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:
- How many staff you need
- Guest numbers
- Your choice of paellas
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s 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. At midsummer, events in Brookhampton stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Share the running order, including any speeches
