How much does festival paella catering cost in Hyde?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. Summer events in Hyde have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
