Planning for every diet
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:
- Make allergen information visible at every stall
- Plan seating near the food area
- Ask about peak-time capacity
- Give traders a single information pack
Allergen details are available at the stall.
Larger pans for peak times.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, events in Broughton stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and paperwork.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We cook in full view and serve all event.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.

Questions from Broughton
Do you trade at school fairs around Broughton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is Broughton close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
Do you need power?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need.
Do you cover Broughton?
Yes, we do. Broughton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What we need at the venue
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We need:
- Clearance from tents and gazebos
- Details of power, water and waste arrangements
- Pitch space for cooking and serving
