How we price festival paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Parking and unloading
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The number of people
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and rough timings
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Vegans get a hot, filling dish.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Schedule crew meals
- Check allergen info is on display
Allergen details are available at the stall.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Trader information and site rules
- A level pitch on firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For an evening event in East End, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
