Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How we price festival paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

- Distance and access to the venue

Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about

Is live paella right for your event?
Most stalls cook to order. Paella is batch-cooked and served fast, so queues move quickly. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why Kiddington hosts choose us
