Festival paella catering for Spurlands End events
How our festival paella catering works in Spurlands End
The cooking is part of the show. People stop, watch and come back to eat. Popular choices include seafood paella, churros and giant-pan paella, and we’re frequently booked for county and country shows and feeding crew and volunteers.
Rural events near Spurlands End can be a long way from food outlets, so a hot-food stall is a big help. We cook every pan in full view of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.

What affects the price in Spurlands End
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- The length of service
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where we’d cook
- Anything your venue supplies
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The courses you’d like
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. Evening events in Spurlands End have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- We set up our burners and pans.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Give us your final numbers and diets

Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Can you do sangria?

How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
