What festival paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- A picture of where we’d cook
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Festival paella catering for your event in North Boarhunt
Nothing draws a festival crowd like a huge paella. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. Whether it’s school fairs and fundraisers and race days and sports events, we can cook chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella.
Rural events near North Boarhunt can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

Other catering in North Boarhunt
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Before you choose a spot
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- Vehicle access before and after the event
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
