What else we do in Edgcott
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, keeping queues short. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out

- Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
- We cover Edgcott and the whole of Buckinghamshire

Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will check availability.
How it works
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. Evening events in Edgcott have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.

DIY paella versus live catering
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around 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.

How we price festival paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- The number of people
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
