How quickly can you serve?

Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Is live paella right for your event?

Crew sandwiches are easy but dull. A hot paella keeps crew going. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, along with staff, extras and travel. Every event gets its own quote.

Why us?

  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment

Choosing a paella caterer

Should I cook it myself?

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.

What festival paella catering costs

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • How many staff you need
  • Travel, parking and access
  • Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu to match. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Roughly how many adults and children
  • Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
  • Where the event is
  • Your date and when you want to eat

We need only a few details to quote: date, location, guest numbers and diets. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Working with your venue

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Wormley? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

How the day works

Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell normally draws people over. Summer events in Wormley have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

  1. Tell us about the event and pitch.
  2. We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
  3. We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
  4. We cook in full view and serve all event.
  5. We clear and leave the pitch clean.

Getting ready for the day

  • Let us know the timings for the day
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
