What festival paella catering costs

Your quote will be clear and itemised. The main things that affect it are:

  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Waiting and bar staff
  • Your choice of paellas
  • The number of people

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • The courses you’d like
  • Anything your venue supplies
  • The address or venue name
  • Diets and allergies you know about

We need only a few details to quote: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Why choose festival paella catering in Cogges?

It copes with peak times, thanks to big-batch cooking.

These are some of the occasions we cater:

  • Christmas and farmers’ markets
  • Summer fairs and fêtes
  • Sports clubs and race days
  • School and charity events

For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Mary, a paella stall adds a hot meal to the cakes and tombola.

What to look for in a quote

  • How many staff are coming, and for how long
  • A clear list of what’s included
  • What the caterer needs from your venue
  • VAT, if it applies

Our caterer checklist

Catering for every guest

A little planning makes sure everyone can eat. Here’s how:

  • Ask for allergen information at each stall
  • Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
  • Provide seating near the food
  • Give traders a single information pack

If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.

Bowl food for easy eating on the move.

The menu, dish by dish

Vegan paella

Vegan paella cooked separately.

Seafood paella

The seafood pan is a festival favourite.

Paella compared with other options

For a stall that adds atmosphere, paella is a strong choice. 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.

Why book with us

  • Hot food served quickly from the pan
  • Starters and desserts to complete the menu
  • Waiting staff and crockery on request
  • No hidden extras in your quote

What happens on the day

We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For an evening event in Cogges, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. It starts with your event details and pitch information.
  2. We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
  3. We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
  4. The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
  5. We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Tell us where to park and unload
  • Leave space around the cooking area
