How we price festival paella catering
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Travel, parking and access
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How long we are needed on site
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Expected numbers
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff

Questions from Millbridge
Can you cook in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Millbridge?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you come to Millbridge?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Millbridge and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
How the day works
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For an evening event in Millbridge, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
