How we price festival paella catering
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The paellas you choose
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
Allergen information is available at the stall.

Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, West Berkshire included. See all areas.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Lower Green is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Live paella or other catering?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
