Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
The cooking area stays tidy, and clear it away afterwards.

Space, weather and the venue
Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but a few things matter:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
