Our caterer checklist

How it works

Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell normally draws people over. Summer events in Belvedere have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.

  1. We check your dates.
  2. We agree menu and pitch.
  3. We set up our burners and pans.
  4. The first pans are ready as visitors arrive.
  5. We serve, then pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
  • Give us your final numbers and diets

Why choose live paella in Belvedere?

Some traders struggle with vegan and gluten-free options. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the others. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.

Why us?

  • Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Live cooking, not reheated food
  • Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the cooking.
