At a field event near Hungerford, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We serve straight from the pan, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once it’s ready.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Not every trader covers vegans. A paella stall can have a vegan pan alongside the rest. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?

- Everything cooked fresh at your event

What festival paella catering costs
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Distance and access to the venue

- Guest numbers
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.

- The address or venue name
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

What else we do in Hungerford
How it works
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. At midsummer, events in Hungerford stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- 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 pack down and tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Tell us where to park and unload
How to get a price
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
