What festival paella catering costs
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The number of people
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The length of service
- How many staff you need
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Which courses you have in mind
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

How it works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, events in Yiewsley stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook and serve throughout.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote.

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Flat, firm ground
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
As a London location, Yiewsley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Put all trader information in one pack
- Book crew catering in advance
Allergen details are available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
Common questions in Yiewsley
What about parking in Yiewsley?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
Can you cook in Northala Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you cover Yiewsley?
We do. We cook at events in Yiewsley and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Paella compared with other options
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A paella pan stands out in a food line-up. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Waiting staff and crockery on request
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
