Planning for every diet

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Check how many portions traders can serve
  • Plan seating near the food area
  • Agree waste arrangements with traders
  • Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options

At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.

Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.

What happens on the day

The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, events in Corhampton stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

  1. Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
  2. You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
  3. We send the documents the event asks for.
  4. On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
  5. At close, we pack down and tidy up.

Before we arrive

  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Confirm numbers and diets before the day

How we price festival paella catering

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • The paellas you choose
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • Distance and access to the venue
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Questions from Corhampton

Is Corhampton too small for live paella?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Can you run a stall at a school fair in Corhampton?

Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

How much does festival paella catering cost in Corhampton?

It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you cook it at the event?

Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.

Will there be long queues?

Service from the pan is fast, which suits busy periods.

What paperwork do you provide?

Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.

Can you cook indoors?

Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

Working with your venue

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Should I cook it myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

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.

  • 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
