What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The paellas you choose
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- Parking and unloading
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Where the event is
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Hatch End have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
