Festival paella catering in Amersham, cooked live

In Amersham, a good food stall can make an event. One paella pitch covers several diets. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan paella
A proper vegan main, in its own pan.
Giant paella pans
The huge pan is the star.
The process
We cook over gas burners in wide, shallow pans. It needs a level spot with some shelter and good ventilation, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Amersham have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm what we will serve, our pitch needs and any paperwork.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Leave space around the cooking area
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Name one person we can ask on the day
