What festival paella catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Timings and hours
- How many guests are eating
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The paellas you choose
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, keeping queues short. Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Real theatre, not just catering
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. Summer events in Higher Denham 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.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Higher Denham questions
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Higher Denham?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Higher Denham from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What does festival paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we will reply with a price.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
