How we price festival paella catering
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
- Timings and hours

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

FAQs for Yarmouth
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
What’s the nearest station to Yarmouth for guests?
The closest is Lymington Pier station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
