Why live cooking beats a buffet
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

How we price festival paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Distance and access to the venue
- The number of people
- The length of service
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we’ll check availability at the same time.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- The event’s site rules and timings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Giant paella pans
- Vegan paella
- Seafood paella
- Chicken & chorizo paella

DIY paella versus live catering
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
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.
About the dishes
Seafood paella
A seafood pan with prawns and mussels for fish lovers.
Giant paella pans
It is the huge pan people come to see.
The process
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Evening events in Coleshill have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
