Festival paella catering near Worminghall
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. Summer events in Worminghall have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Check the venue allows live cooking

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether you need crockery
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- How many courses
- How many staff you need
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
