How we price festival paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Timings and hours
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
- How many courses
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
- Anything your venue supplies
Every quote is put together for your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
For event organisers in Cowplain

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

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Cowplain stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
