Live festival paella catering in Hunters Forstal
What affects the price in Hunters Forstal
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Your choice of paellas
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. At midsummer, events in Hunters Forstal stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
