Festival paella catering for Greenhill events
What festival paella catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Timings and hours
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Guest numbers
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
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Anything your venue supplies
- A photo of the space, if you can

Festival paella catering in Greenhill, cooked live
A paella stall covers several diets at once: separate meat, seafood and vegan pans. That simplifies your food line-up. We cook giant-pan paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re frequently booked for village fêtes and summer fairs and school fairs and fundraisers.
Around Greenhill, a fête or summer fair suits a giant paella pan. Send us the pitch and access details. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, with each paella cooked in its own pan and clearly labelled.

How it works
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. When service is finished, we pack down. At midsummer, events in Greenhill stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Leave space around the cooking area
