About our festival paella catering in Mountain Street
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list. Typical bookings include seasonal markets and school and charity events, with seafood paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella.
A fête near Mountain Street might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, not reheated.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. The main points are:
- Trader information and site rules
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Firm, level ground
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many guests are eating
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Parking and unloading
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- What the venue already provides
- The courses you’d like
We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Events in public spaces, like parks, normally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Hosting a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Provide seating near the food
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
We keep our pitch tidy and safe.

Step by step
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Mountain Street have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
