How our festival paella catering works in North Camp
Crew meals are timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. Whether it is farmers’ and Christmas markets and food and music festivals, we’ll put together a menu of chicken and chorizo paella, churros and vegan paella for your guests.

What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- What the venue already provides
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- The address or venue name
Send us the date, your venue or GU14 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.

How the day works
We get there well before serving, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Your guests are welcome to watch while it cooks. Summer events in North Camp have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
