How our festival paella catering works in Kimpton
One paella stall covers many diets: meat, seafood and vegan pans side by side. That simplifies your food line-up. For sports clubs and race days and feeding crew and volunteers, we can cook churros, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella for your guests.
Near Kimpton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so it arrives hot and becomes part of the event.
The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For an evening event in Kimpton, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day

What affects the price in Kimpton
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How long we are needed on site
- The paellas you choose
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Waiting and bar staff
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.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and time of the event
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- Diets and allergies you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the event is, how many guests and any dietary needs. You can send us your details through our quote form.
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 don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. We itemise ours.
Why us?
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Dietary needs and planning tips
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Give traders a single information pack
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Larger pans for peak times.
