How we price festival paella catering
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- The number of people
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
- Starters, canapés and desserts
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us

- Where the event is
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- A picture of where we’d cook

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
How the day works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. Summer events in Ewshot have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
