Festival paella catering for your event in Filmore Hill
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, standing up or sitting on the grass. We’re often asked to cater school and charity events and christmas and farmers’ markets, with chicken and chorizo paella, churros and vegan paella.
For a village fête or field event near Filmore Hill, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Step by step
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evening events in Filmore Hill have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.

What festival paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
- Waiting and bar staff
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
- Roughly how many adults and children
- A picture of the space, if you can
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Filmore Hill questions
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Filmore Hill?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you need water?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Filmore Hill?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Tell us your date and numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Diets, allergies and planning
