Festival paella catering in Wisborough Green, cooked live

What festival paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and access to the venue
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Timings and hours
- Guest numbers
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up our cooking area, and get on with cooking and serving. Summer events in Wisborough Green have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree menu and pitch.
- Burners and pans go up.
- Pans are cooking as gates open.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
How to prepare
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Have a level space ready for the pans

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
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.
Wisborough Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Wisborough Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Wisborough Green?
Billingshurst station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Live paella or other catering?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
