If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning for every diet
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Agree waste arrangements with traders
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Give traders a single information pack
Pans cook in full view, and serve from the pan throughout the event.
