How we price festival paella catering
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Whether you need crockery
- The number of people
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How long we are needed on site
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The date and rough timings
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Broomfield
Is Broomfield close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook near the sea around Broomfield?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your list.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
How quickly can you serve?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Provide seating near the food
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
We set up at the agreed time.
Extra pans for busy periods.
What’s in the pans
Vegan paella
Vegan visitors get a real meal.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
