What else we do in Kingston Blount
What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Travel, parking and access
- The length of service
- The number of people
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- The courses you’d like
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Events in public spaces, like parks, usually need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
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.
Paella compared with other options
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
Why Kingston Blount hosts choose us
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. For an evening event in Kingston Blount, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
Before we arrive
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
