What festival paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
- Parking and unloading
- The paellas you choose
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Paella compared with other options
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. Larger events usually cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you’re ready to eat. Summer events in Little Stanmore have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches

Planning help
Little Stanmore: your questions answered
What about parking in Little Stanmore?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will work around it.
Could we have live paella in Canons Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Will there be long queues?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Do you need water?
We’ll confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
