What festival paella catering costs
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How long we’re needed on site
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.
What we need to know
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Which courses you have in mind
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Anything your venue supplies
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. Summer events in Stocks Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
