How it works
On the day, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Loudwater 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, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Leave space around the cooking area

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
What festival paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- Travel, parking and access
- How many courses
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
There’s 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.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of the space, if you can
- The venue or postcode
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Your date and when you want to eat
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will put together a menu and price.
