Planning an event in St George's Hill?
Step by step
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so the timing is planned around your event. At midsummer, events in St George's Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Festival paella catering in St George's Hill, cooked live
Because paella is cooked in big batches, it handles lunchtime rushes well. Portions are served in seconds. We are frequently asked to cater summer fairs and fêtes and community events and open days, with seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and vegan paella.
In St George's Hill, one trader covering most diets keeps it simple. A paella stall does that. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
Space, weather and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Flat, firm ground
- A pitch away from tents and structures
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price festival paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and unloading
- How many courses
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
