What festival paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Guest numbers
- Travel, parking and access
- How many courses
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which courses you have in mind
- What the venue already provides

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. For an evening event in Wigmore, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. A giant pan cooking in view sells itself. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.
