How we price festival paella catering

- How many guests are eating

The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Check allergen info is on display
- Plan for vegan and gluten-free visitors
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Give traders a single information pack
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch, following your trader pack.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we ask about the space before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Access for unloading at set-up
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
As a London location, Northolt is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, events in Northolt stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
