Questions from Stoneleigh
Could we have live paella in Hogsmill LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you trade at school fairs around Stoneleigh?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What does festival paella catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes. The vegan pan is cooked separately.

What festival paella catering costs
Your quote will be clear and itemised. What affects it most:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
- The paellas you choose
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The date and rough timings
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Step by step
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For an evening event in Stoneleigh, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event, dates and pitch details.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
Before we arrive
