Festival paella catering in Camberley
Festival paella catering in Camberley, cooked live
Paella in a bowl is perfect festival food, standing up or sitting on the grass. We’re often asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and sports clubs and race days, serving vegan paella, giant-pan paella and churros.
In Camberley, a good food stall can make an event. Paella covers meat, seafood and vegan in one pitch. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.

How we price festival paella catering
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and unloading
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Your choice of paellas
- Timings and hours
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- The courses you’d like
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Schedule crew meals
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
