What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. At midsummer, events in Compton stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area

What festival paella catering costs
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
- How long we are needed on site
- How many guests are eating
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
