Events near Burnham are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything and needs little help is a bonus. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in a separate pan.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Send your requirements and we will include them with our application.
How quickly can you serve?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Burnham have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- You get our stall menu and what we need on site.
- We send the documents the event asks for.
- We time the first pans for the lunchtime rush.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
Getting a price
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. For a quote, use our quote form.
