Mill End questions
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cook in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Mill End.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you need water?
Let us know what the pitch has and we’ll confirm our needs.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
Planning the cooking area

What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers

- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many staff you need
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Is live paella right for your event?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
