Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How long we are needed on site
- Guest numbers
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

We cook at festivals, fairs, markets, school and charity events, sports days and open days. We cook churros, giant-pan paella and vegan paella, and we are often booked for school and charity events and festivals.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Farleigh Wallop stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
