Organising for someone else?

For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Before you choose a spot

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • A pitch away from tents and structures
  • Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
  • Trader information and site rules

Chiswick is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

What festival paella catering costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • The number of people
  • Whether you need crockery
  • The length of service
  • How many staff you need

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.

What we need to know

To check availability and price, we need:

  • The address or venue name
  • A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Should I cook it myself?

Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.

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 enjoy the party, let us cook.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
