About our festival paella catering in Weybridge
Few street foods pull a crowd like a giant paella pan. The sight and smell of it cooking brings people over, and portions are served quickly from the pan. We are frequently asked to cater music and food festivals and county and country shows, serving chicken and chorizo paella, vegan paella and giant-pan paella.
In Weybridge, schools, clubs and churches often run summer events. Paella suits any of them. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, each in a separate pan and clearly labelled.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Check how many portions traders can serve
Pans cook in full view, serving throughout the event.

Your questions about festival paella catering in Weybridge
What’s the nearest station to Weybridge for guests?
Weybridge station, about 0.9 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Weybridge from London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Weybridge.
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.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What festival paella catering costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we’re needed on site
- How many courses
- Distance and access to the venue
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The courses you’d like
- The address or venue name
- What the venue already provides
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. Summer events in Weybridge have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
