The process
Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Combe stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- The length of service
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The date and rough timings
- The address or venue name
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
DIY paella versus live catering
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
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.
