Paella catering for Faberstown events
Paella catering in Faberstown, made fresh on the day
Almost any venue with a level, ventilated spot will do: gardens, marquees, barns, courtyards and festival fields in and around Faberstown. Typical bookings include leaving dos and retirements and weddings, from canapés to evening food, with vegetable paella, vegan paella and mixed paella.
Somewhere like Faberstown, a field or garden is often the perfect setting. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.
How we price paella catering
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we’re needed on site
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many courses
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Which courses you have in mind
It is easy to get a price: share your date, venue, numbers and diets. We will send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
For event organisers in Faberstown
Organising a club, school or community event in Faberstown? Live paella feeds a crowd quickly and suits most diets. Give us the details and we’ll suggest a plan.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
Once the rice is in, it needs about 20 minutes, so we start it at the right moment for your event. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
We can add sangria and bar staff to serve drinks you provide.
Why choose live paella in Faberstown?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and the food sits out. Paella is cooked live and served hot. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why Faberstown hosts choose us
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
- Everything cooked fresh at your event
- Fast service from the pan
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
