For planners, venues and organisers
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground
- Access for unloading at set-up
- Your trader pack and site rules
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Burcot
- Seafood paella
- Vegan paella
- Churros
- Giant paella pans
- Chicken & chorizo paella
- Tapas
Live paella or other catering?
If you want a trader that adds atmosphere, a paella pan delivers. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
