How our festival paella catering works in Rotherfield Peppard

Paella compared with other options
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Larger events normally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- A clear, itemised quote
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Send traders one clear trader pack
