How we price festival paella catering

- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
- Waiting and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, sides, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote.
What happens on the day
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. For an evening event in Cade Street, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
