Festival paella catering near Send
Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Check allergen info is on display
If crew or volunteer meals are booked, they’re served at the agreed times.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.

We can trade as a stall or cook for crew, volunteers and VIP areas. We cook seafood paella, giant-pan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we’re regularly asked to cater community events and open days and sports clubs and race days.
In Send, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. Paella does exactly that. All the cooking equipment comes with us, and we clear our cooking area away afterwards.

For event organisers in Send
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
How it works
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. Evening events in Send have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.
How to prepare
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook

Prices and what affects them
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you need crockery
- The length of service
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Your choice of paellas
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.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Diets and allergies you know about
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll suggest paellas and extras to suit.
Live paella or other catering?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Paella adds something different. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.
