How our festival paella catering works in North Street
We arrive with our equipment and follow the site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. We’re frequently asked to cater feeding crew and volunteers and community events and open days, serving seafood paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
At a fête or field event near North Street, we can bring hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and access. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
DIY paella versus live catering
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.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
What festival paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many staff you need
- The paellas you choose
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and get on with cooking and serving. At midsummer, events in North Street stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then pack down.
How to prepare
