About our festival paella catering in Emmbrook
One paella stall covers many diets: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That makes life easier for organisers. For farmers’ and Christmas markets and village fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of giant-pan paella, churros and vegan paella.
In Emmbrook, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. You’ll know exactly what’s included before booking: the menu, the staff and any extras, with no surprises on the day.

Is live paella right for your event?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- A clear, itemised quote
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

How we price festival paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

- The date and rough timings

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
