Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.

How we price festival paella catering
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many guests are eating
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The courses you’d like
Every event is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, use our quote form.

The process
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you are free to enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first while the paella cooks.

- It starts with your event details and pitch information.
- We confirm what we’ll serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- We set up at the agreed time.
- Pans cook in full view and we serve throughout the event.
- We clear the pitch and leave it clean.

A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you do crew catering?

Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
