How we price festival paella catering
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
- Your choice of paellas
- Parking and unloading
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Expected numbers
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we’ll suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
Allergen information is available at the stall.

We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements

- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then pack down.
