Festival paella catering for your event in York Town
Crew and volunteer catering can be timed to your schedule, so your team eats well on a long day. Whether it is VIP and hospitality areas and county and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of giant-pan paella, churros and vegan paella for your guests.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around York Town are made for a paella stall. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. Your quote spells out exactly what’s included: the menu, the staff and any extras.
The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. For an evening event in York Town, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our menu, prices for visitors and requirements.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- On the day, the pans are on before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Check the venue allows live cooking

How we price festival paella catering
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- How long we’re needed on site
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- Diets and allergies you know about
Each quote is tailored to your event. Tell us your date and guest numbers, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times

- Put all trader information in one pack
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch, following your trader pack.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
Paella compared with other options
Hot-cabinet food lacks theatre. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Real theatre, not just catering
- No hidden extras in your quote
