Festival paella catering in Walter's Ash, cooked live

A fête near Walter's Ash might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. The paella is served straight from the pan, so it’s hot and generous, and a queue moves quickly.

How we price festival paella catering
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The paellas you choose
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- How many courses
- How many guests are eating
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- Diets and allergies you know about
- The courses you’d like
- Expected numbers
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
How it works
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Walter's Ash have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Walter's Ash
Which station should guests use for Walter's Ash?
Saunderton station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre.
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What documents can you send?
Send us your list and we will respond.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Live paella or other catering?
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. 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.
