Festival paella catering for your event in Hatchford End
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’re regularly asked to cater music and food festivals and open days and community events.
At a field event near Hatchford End, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The paella is served straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.
Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether you need crockery
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Guest numbers
- Timings and hours
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything your venue supplies
- The venue or postcode
- The courses you’d like
We quote for each event separately, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.

Live paella or other catering?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why us?
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- Plates, cutlery and waiting staff available
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Real theatre, not just catering
