What festival paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- The number of people
- How many staff you need
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Which courses you have in mind
- A picture of where we’d cook

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps things safe and helps the paella cook evenly. We need:
- Firm, level ground
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Vehicle access before and after the event
As a London location, Maze Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
