How the day works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. For an evening event in Plaitford Green, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we’ll serve and where.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.

How we price festival paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Diets and allergies you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Dishes our guests love
