What affects the price in Westborough
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Parking and unloading
- Your choice of paellas
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- How many guests are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

The menu, dish by dish
Giant paella pans
Huge pans of golden rice, cooking in full view.
Seafood paella
The seafood pan is a festival favourite.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To get it right:
- Put picnic tables near the traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Book crew catering in advance
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
Pans cook in full view, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
Extra pans for busy periods.
