Festival paella catering for Over Norton events
What festival paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Timings and hours
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Live paella or other catering?
For a stall that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.

Planning for every diet
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
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Send traders one clear trader pack
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.

Over Norton questions
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Over Norton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Over Norton too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is usually popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
What happens on the day
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. Summer events in Over Norton have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
