Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
How we price festival paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Your choice of paellas
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Which courses you have in mind
- The date and rough timings
- Diets and allergies you know about
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included. To get it right:
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Plan seating near the food area
Allergen information is available at the stall.
Crew, volunteer and VIP catering.
The process
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. For an evening event in Loxford, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We set up on time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
