Is live paella right for your event?
Most street food is cooked one order at a time. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- Fast service from the pan
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Real theatre, not just catering

How the day works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, events in Hundridge stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Hundridge questions
Is Hundridge too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Hundridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Can we book you as a trader?
Tell us about your event, and we will confirm availability and requirements.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Planning the cooking area
We’ll be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- Firm, level ground
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- The event’s site rules and timings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Hundridge
- Tapas
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Vegan paella
- Seafood paella
- Churros

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- Waiting and bar staff
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
