How it works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell generally draws people over. At midsummer, events in Langley stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Tell us where to park and unload

How our festival paella catering works in Langley
We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. Typical bookings include county and country shows and sports clubs and race days, with giant-pan paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella.
Around Langley, a fête or summer fair suits a giant paella pan. Send us the pitch and access details. We plan the timings around your day, so the paella is ready when you want to eat.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for our cooking and serving area
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Is live paella right for your event?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Why Langley hosts choose us
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Hot food served quickly from the pan
- Drinks service on request
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

Your questions about festival paella catering in Langley
Do you trade at school fairs around Langley?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could we have live paella in Ditton Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
How much does festival paella catering cost in Langley?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes, always. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
