DIY paella versus live catering
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
How our festival paella catering works in West Green
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list in and around West Green. We’re often asked to cater christmas and farmers’ markets and food and music festivals, serving chicken and chorizo paella, churros and giant-pan paella.
A fête near West Green 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 service is quick once it is ready.
Diets, allergies and planning
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Put picnic tables near the traders
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.

What else we do in West Green
How we price festival paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- How many guests are eating
There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. We itemise everything in your quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- What the venue already provides
- A photo of the space, if you can
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
Not sure what you need yet? No problem: tell us about the occasion and the guests, and we’ll suggest a menu. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Where we can cook in West Green
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Spacing from tents and other structures
- Firm, level ground
- Trader information and site rules
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests typically gather round to watch while it cooks. At midsummer, events in West Green stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm menu, pitch needs and documents.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
