What festival paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Timings and hours
- Parking and unloading
- How many courses
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

The process
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks. Summer events in Somers Town have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
