How we price festival paella catering
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

- Anything your venue supplies
- The courses you’d like
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Expected numbers

Planning help
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
