Festival paella catering in Sun Rising
Festival paella catering in Sun Rising, made fresh on the day
Paella eats well from a bowl with a fork, on the move or on a picnic rug. For summer fairs and fêtes and county and country shows, we can cook seafood paella, chicken and chorizo paella and giant-pan paella and more.
A fête near Sun Rising might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We serve straight from the pan, so every plate is hot, and a queue moves quickly.

Common questions in Sun Rising
Do you come out to small places like Sun Rising?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the details, and we’ll reply with our availability and what we need.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
What affects the price in Sun Rising
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Your choice of paellas
- Whether you need crockery
- Waiting and bar staff
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
- The date and rough timings
- What the venue already provides
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Book crew catering in advance
- Plan seating near the food area
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Bowls and forks for eating on the go.
Live paella or other catering?
Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Larger events generally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
