What festival paella catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything your venue supplies
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Oxted stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
