Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Is live paella right for your event?
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. Paella adds something different. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Send traders one clear trader pack
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Put picnic tables near the traders
Allergen details are available at the stall, and each pan is labelled.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.

For winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
