Common questions in Albany Park
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Albany Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could we have live paella in Waring Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.
What do you need at the pitch?
We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
Paella is cooked in big batches and served from the pan, so service is quick.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Provide seating near the food
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Check allergen info is on display
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.
Churros and tapas can join the menu.
