Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

Catering for every guest
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Book crew catering in advance
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
- Provide seating near the food
We keep our pitch tidy and safe throughout the day.
Tapas and churros can be added to a stall menu.
Planning the cooking area
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A pitch big enough for the pans, burners and serving table
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Giant paella pans
- Seafood paella
- Churros
