What happens on the day

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How we price festival paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many courses
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Parking and unloading
- Whether you need crockery
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything your venue supplies
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Roughly how many adults and children
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Schedule crew meals
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
