How we price festival paella catering
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we are needed on site
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space, if you can
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- Anything your venue supplies
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. To start, fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
- A pitch away from tents and structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Step by step

Summer events in Cox Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
