How the day works
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, and we agree where that is before the day. Summer events in Warnborough Green have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Burners and pans go up.
- The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Before we arrive

What festival paella catering costs
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Your choice of paellas
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- What the venue already provides
- Which courses you have in mind

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Not every trader covers vegans. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. We itemise everything in your quote.

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
