The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. Summer events in Bullbrook have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
What festival paella catering costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of people
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Waiting and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
