Other catering in Wingham Green
Live paella or other catering?
Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Wingham Green hosts choose us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Sangria and bar staff available

- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.

DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Prices and what affects them
Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Waiting and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
- The number of people
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and rough timings
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Anything your venue supplies
Still deciding on the menu? That is fine: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
