What festival paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Travel, parking and access
- Whether you need crockery
- Guest numbers
- 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.

Upper Woolhampton questions
How far is Upper Woolhampton from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Do you trade at school fairs around Upper Woolhampton?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. There is a vegan pan next to the others.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
How it works
We get there well before serving, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. Summer events in Upper Woolhampton have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- At the end, we clear our pitch.
How to prepare
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
How to get a price
Still deciding on the menu? That’s fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will suggest a menu. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
