How we price festival paella catering

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Starters, canapés and desserts
  • Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
  • Whether you need crockery
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff

Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Your date and when you want to eat
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Roughly how many adults and children

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Step by step

From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. Any tapas or canapés are served first while the paella cooks. For an evening event in Well Hall, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

  1. Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
  2. You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
  3. We send the documents the event asks for.
  4. We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
  5. At close, we pack down and tidy up.

DIY paella versus live catering

You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

Planners, venues and businesses

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: cooking areas, access times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will let you know if live paella is a good fit.

Questions from Well Hall

Can you run a stall at a school fair in Well Hall?

Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Is parking a problem for events in Well Hall?

It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

How many paellas should we have?

Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.

What if the weather’s bad?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Will you have a stall at our event?

Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we will let you know if we are available.

How much paella per person?

We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

Do you cater for young children?

Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

Space, weather and the venue

Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:

  • Trader information and site rules
  • Access for unloading at set-up
  • Room for our cooking and serving area

As a London location, Well Hall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
