What else we do in Burghfield Bridge
What festival paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Guest numbers
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Which courses you have in mind
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Anything your venue supplies
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote.
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Burghfield Bridge stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Plan cover in case of rain

Working with your venue
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Organising a club, school or community event in Burghfield Bridge? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
